@Humblefish What level of copper do I need to maintain. I didn't see a specific value given. I've added 12 mil to the QT and will add another 13 mil tomorrow (20 gal)

What kind of copper are you using. 2ppm for chelated copper.@Humblefish What level of copper do I need to maintain. I didn't see a specific value given. I've added 12 mil to the QT and will add another 13 mil tomorrow (20 gal)
.4 - .5 for cupramine. 2-2.5 for most chelated copper.@Humblefish What level of copper do I need to maintain. I didn't see a specific value given. I've added 12 mil to the QT and will add another 13 mil tomorrow (20 gal)
Using Mardels coppersafe. It doesn't say what level to use but that it is 2.2 chealated copper. So 2.2?
I would check and see how sensitive your scooter dragonettes are to copper. I know mandarins cannot tolerate copper at all.
The sand in that QT is going to make it hard to keep copper levels where they should be. Do you have a wrasse that sleeps in sand? Most people put a little sand in a bowl for them, but not the whole bottom of the tank.Wowza! Took more than half a day to remove 3 fish!. Had to remove all but one big section of rockwork and even then, it took forever to catch 2 chromis and one goby. Fish are now in their temp home, copper dosed at 12 mil out of 23-25 mil. 20 gal tank with a bit of sand and a pvc tower. I wouldn't think much more than 1 gal displaced.
Main tank put back together-relandscaped and corals back in , though most just on bottom. Will work some more on it tomorrow. Was able to redo what I didn't like or didn't work out from orignial set up. Feather fan counts as a coral and stays in MT I'm assuming. It is part of the rockwork and isn't going anywhere...
Got all the damsels from the display refugium ... Had to remove ALL rock and even then, took a couple hours! Rock just dumped back in. No rush on that tank. Will redo completely
All fish now in QT and seem to be doing well. Countdown to 76 days begins tomorrow when I raise the coppersafe to correct dosage.
