Copper dosing Levels

Going to prophylacticly treat my new arrivals with copper..(Cupramine)

I know the concentration levels is 0.5, but will it do the job if I have the levels at more therapuetic level like 0.4?

I don't want it too low either where it doesnt do the job.. just need some clarification before I start.. Thanks

Therapeutic level is .3 to .5 for cupramine. So anywhere in that range is fine.

I can tell you that after using cupramine and copper power u would highly recommend copper power. It is a different form of copper and much easier on the fish. My fish were lethargic in cupramine and the difference was night and day when I switched over. Also copper power since it’s a different form of copper the therapeutic range is 1.5 to 2.0 which allows for a much greater margin of error.

Good luck.
