Yup, pretty much the 1-2 punch to knock out the top three problems.

The only thing I don't like about Coppersafe, or any other form of chelated copper is the API kit for reading that high range kind of sucks, and the alternatives are pretty expensive. Given the lack of ease though with obtaining medical grade Chloroquine Phosphate north of the border (or the species that don't handle it well), it's the best choice if you're going chemical treatment.

As a bonus, you'll knock out any potential marine velvet dinospores as well that TTM won't catch.

Thanks for the info. I’ll likely go the coppersafe route.
Wish me luck!

Finding Dory... almost complete.

Haha, funny you should mention that. While I was waiting at J&L, another customer told the staff member that she wanted to buy “the Dory.” I admit I may have rolled my eyes. As a female newbie, I often feel less than secure and worry about sounding dumb. I was like, really, you asked that? Then she made it worse by not knowing what ich was. Come on, sister, don’t bring me down with you! Anyway, her boyfriend said no.

Hahahaha as I was reading this all I was thinking was that she was going to scoop the small hippo you had committed to. I have had it happen where I’m polite, allow someone in front of me and they buy the one thing I’m after.
