Yes, never... In qt maybe a month or more. Copper is so hard on fish...Never use copper in the display. It will haunt you for ever.

It will leach for ever. If you never want corals you will be ok.How will it haunt me if I remove the cupramine until the test reads zero?
Also just talked to Sea Chem and they said 3-4 weeks and then remove and re treat if there's any problem
It will leach for ever. If you never want corals you will be ok.
Do you have experience with this happening with cupramine?
(I removed most of it and my inverts and kept it all in a Rubbermaid bin with heater and light and powerheads).
Yes I removed all but probably 30-40lbs of rock (I had 175-190).See, but it worked for you because you removed the vast majority of the liverock and critters. You had minimal interference with the copper levels and therefore minimal rock that needed the copper removed from it. If you go through all that trouble, (as you pointed out) it's better to just put them in a QT unless you have no other options.
So I have removed the cupramine and will now treat with prazi pro and when the next shipment of angels and some smaller fish come in I will dose cupramine again but this time I want to dose prazi pro at the same time. Any reason not to?
It's not recommended because the combination can cause a bacterial bloom that sucks the oxygen out of the water. That can cause deaths if you're not prepared for it. I wouldn't do it unless you have to. I certainly wouldn't dose them on the same day.
Anything happening to the corals and you will suspect copper. So dont. Hospital tank man.Never use copper in the display. It will haunt you for ever.
