Fritz Mardel 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. Long Lasting Formula - No Repeat Doses Necessary. No Need to Adjust Filtration. Safe for Use with All Water Conditioners. Can Be Used with Other Meds. Great for Preventative Use and Quarantine Systems. Safe for Fresh and Saltwater Systems. Directions: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. No contraindications: can be used with all other Fritz products and meds. 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. 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. 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. Size: 4 oz (treats 94 gallons)
