My Tank Thread
Yes my copper levels are barely registering on the test kit
I just want to point something out. I understand why you came away thinking the way you did. Just remember, I would imagine Humble averages helping at least 5 to 10 active threads at any given time. This is in addition to all of the help requests he gets sent through PM's. And then there are the people that contact him for help outside of this forum.
This is the advice he gave you.
It would be best to slowly ramp the copper up with the wrasse, as opposed to dropping him into a QT already at full therapeutic.
It isn't realistic to think he will remember the status of every tank for all the people he is helping. Instead of risking not remembering something correctly, he gave you advice that you could use based on the status of your tank. If your tank was that full therapeutic, you should not add the wrasse directly to the QT. Since you weren't close to therapeutic, it will be fine.
Just something to keep in mind when people offer advice like this. No one knows your system and it's current status better than you do. It is up to you to see if it applies. If you have a question about it, ask for clarification and it always helps to include the pertinent data. In this case, following up with something along the lines of "My QT is at 0.25ppm chelated copper, is it safe to add the wrasse to this tank?" would have saved you a bunch of worry!
