Cupramine and UV / Carbon

[HaulinAshe]

Is the interaction between UV and Cupramine toxic, or does it primarily cause Cupramine to break down and become ineffective?
Can I run a UV Sterilizer after dosing/treating with Cupramine to remove copper in the same or similar manner to running carbon?

Hi -

I'm considering using a CerMedia MarinePure brick in a QT tank. CerMedia's web page FAQ refers to it as"inert aluminosilicate ceramic". Do you know MarinePure will absorb Cupramine significantly?

Thanks,
EJ

As for the Severum, I pulled out the worm - however, I want to make sure no more show up. My tank is 55 gallon, severum, serpae tetras,...

Hello,

I've read that maroons can't handle over 0.15 ppm with copper treatment. Cupramine says to dose 0.5. What would be the best level to use for maroons to kill ich. Thanks.

I cannot find anywhere that this is an issue but with the Betta's evolution and the gill structure being different I am trying to find out.

I've recently acquired a large group of poecilocharax weitzmani tetras. They are quite delicate and won't eat anything that isn't alive. They basically need to have live food present in the aquarium all the time. For that reason, I seeded their quarantine tank with a sustainable population of resident...

We keep our sales tanks dosed with Cupramine. Our question is, if we start using ozone injection into our skimmer, will this;

A) interact with the copper?

B) How bad?

C) Will the by product be harmful to our Livestock?

This is for a Fish only...
