Description
Cupramine 100 mlCupramine is highly effective in eliminating oodinium, cryptocaryon, amyloodinium, ichthyophthirius, and other ectoparasites that affect both freshwater and marine fish. It outperforms copper sulfate, chloride, and citrate: it is non acidic, less harmful to fish, remains dissolved, and does not pollute the filter bed. Additionally, it surpasses chelates: it is fully charged (ionic), remains active at low concentrations, and can be removed with carbon.

KEY FEATURES:
- Copper remedy for external parasites
- Effective at low concentration (does not precipitate)
- Bound to amine, making it less toxic to fish
- Completely removable with carbon or Cuprisorb
DIRECTIONS:
Before Treatment
Eliminate all invertebrates - they are highly sensitive to copper and cannot withstand treatment with copper-based medications. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration such as MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Avoid using alongside any other medications. Do not utilize products containing reducing agents (conditioners, ammonia binders, etc.) while administering Cupramine.
Treatment
If your bottle is equipped with a dropper cap, administer 20 drops (1mL) per 40L (10.5 US gallons) on the first day, then wait 48 hours before repeating. For bottles without a dropper, each inner ring represents 1mL. In freshwater, use half the recommended dose. The final copper concentration should be 0.5 mg/L (0.25 mg/L in freshwater). Maintain this concentration for 14 days. Avoid redosing without testing first. If your tank has ever been treated with ionic copper (e.g., copper chloride, sulfate, or citrate), check the copper level following the initial dose. Although most fish can tolerate Cupramine up to 0.8 mg/L, it is not recommended to exceed 0.6 mg/L of copper.
Complete the Full Treatment
Ich, velvet, and several other parasites spend a significant part of their life cycle as cysts that can resist medication and hide within the substrate of your tank. It's crucial to complete the entire treatment even if parasites are not visible on the fish!
After Treatment
Cupramine can be eliminated using carbon. Ensure the copper-absorbing media remains in your tank for at least one week after the copper concentration has reached 0 to guarantee that all traces of the medication have been thoroughly removed.
