How soon to test for copper after 1st treatment? I have a fish only tank without any inverts. Just rocks and a sand bed. I know the risks of having live rock and sand while treating the tank but I cannot get a QT. My GF will break up with me.
I have a 93 gallon setup with a sump and I treated is with seachem cupramine. So I tested it after couple hours treating and the test results show 0.
Do I need to add more since maybe my rocks are absorbing it or just let sit over night and test again to give it more time?
Also, the website states it's safe to keep the protein skimmer on but do you think I should shut it off during my 3 week treatment?
Should I do any water changes during treatment?
How about lighting? I currently have a radion x30g2 on at 50%. Should I leave it off during treatment or lower the intensity to 10%?
I am testing with APT Copper cu+ test kit
I appreciate all your help thanks.
