Why not just do hyposalinity for 6 weeks? It's a lot easier on the fish, plus the quarantine should be 6 weeks anyway. Copper is one of the few treatments that I refuse to use on my fish. Absolutely will never use it because there are safer treatments available. Copper only treats Ich and Velvet, but it is not very good at treating Velvet. I use Formalin dips for Velvet because Formalin is useful against a broad spectrum of disease and I prefer a dip over a short-term treatment any day. Just my two cents.
