About Fritz Coppersafe

Coppersafe is a safe, stable, and non-staining chelated copper concentrate delivering relief from unwelcome parasites. Proves effective treatment and control of Fresh and Saltwater Ich, Fresh and Saltwater Velvet, and other external parasites, including flukes and anchor worms. The long lasting formula only requires one dose to maintain a therapeutic level for up to one month in the aquarium.


Directions & Dosage

Use 5 ml (1 tsp) per 4 U.S. gallons (15 L), or 8 oz (1 cup) per 190 U.S. gallons (337.5 L). This dose maintains a total copper level of ~2.0 ppm, no redosing is necessary for up to one month. Treatment time will vary based on the infection you are treating.

For best results, use Coppersafe? in a quarantine tank
Remove ion-exchange resins and heavy metal adsorbing filter pads during treatment.
Discontinue use of skimmer during treatment
Carbon does NOT need to be removed during treatment
UV Sterilizer can be used during treatment
Use with caution on aquariums with scaleless fish and other copper-sensitive livestock - do not use Coppersafe? solution with fish species that have a known sensitivity to copper.

NOT SAFE FOR USE WITH INVERTEBRATES: corals, snails, shrimp, clams, jellyfish, other crustaceans or molluscs; remove these types of livestock before dosing
Coppersafe may be harmful to plants and amphibians
Easy measuring: the 8 oz and 16 oz bottle caps are approximately 5 mL volume
Only one dose is needed to achieve the therapeutic level of 1.5 - 2.0 ppm copper. No second dose is needed during treatment.
To prevent accidental overdose in an unknown volume of water, add approximately 1/4 or 1/2 dose and test before adding additional copper.
If water changes must be performed during treatment, treat the volume of replacement water with Coppersafe to maintain the therapeutic level
Overdosed? Perform large water changes immediately until a test kit reads below 2 ppm copper
Test with a reliable copper test kit that measures above 2.0 ppm Total copper, or a kit that measures chelated copper
After treatment, remove copper with water changes, or use a copper-specific adsorbing resin or polyfilter until the copper level returns to zero.
