Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / March 2007copper safe level for oodinium
Hello; Well for the first time in 8 years I have an oodinium outbreak in my dish only 125 and it's all my fault. I broke my own ironclad quarantine rule and now paying the price by not properly quaranteening a diamond goby. In anycase I have a sailfain tang (8 inches long) in a 20 gallon quaranteen and a small niger trigger and kole tang in another 20 gallon quaranteen. The big tank will be kept fishless for 6 to 8 weeks to let those discusting parasites die out. The plan is to go hypo-salinity (which I've used before for ich) to get the parasites to drop off and then use copper to kill them off in the quaranteen tanks when the new tropophonts (think that's what they are called) hatch and start swimming. The american phamecuticals test kit seems to read accaurately based on testing the initial dose I made. I've got it copper around 2.0 right now. I know too much kills the fish and not enough is not effective. I'd appreciate any recommendations as to a good level for this chelated copper or comments is chelated is that effective at all. There seems to be some controversy about that. I've used cupramine in the past but there doesn't seem to be any locally and I had to get started since with oodinium it's act fast or curtains for the fish. thanks; Bob > Hello; Sorry but this newsgroup has been destroyed, totally wiped out by Roy "Tristan" Hauer.

You want to keep the level between .15 and .2 mg/liter for at least two weeks. Emmens states that "it appears safe below .4 ppm" in marine tanks. Dempster recommends .15 ppm for two weeks. George Patterson If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess to anything. |
