I had a velvet outbreak once before as well .
Cupramine saved all my remaining fish . It works great .
Lots of oxygen in the quarantine .also found cupramine will make the fish loose appetite . So don't give up , I had a hawkish not eat for about 8 days in quarantine , but still survived.
As for biological filtration cupramine will kill everything. So you have to rely on water changes. But the rock is good for the fish to feel more comfortable . Just make sure you toss it out when your done.

Thanks. Now theres something I never knew. It kills biological filtration. Good grief. What else. If you do large water changes, then your copper level is getting all screwed around. Trying to find a test kit, is like pulling teeth.
