I know this might be hard to find but I might need it.

Cupramine or copper safe preferred but can't be picky since we can't get them in Canada anymore.

Thanks!

For our friends in Canada, a DIY copper med:

Into 1 liter of RODI water add:

4 grams Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O)

AND

0.25 gram Citric acid - the acid acts as a stabilizer to the copper in solution. Never substitute the citric acid with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) since it will render the copper way more toxic.

Everything should dissolve nicely giving you a slightly bluish solution.

9.8 mL of this solution is necessary to bring 100 Liters (26.4172 US gallons) of tank water to 0.1 mg/L copper. Therapeutic range is ~ 0.15 to 0.25 mg/L, but I would try to stay below 0.20 for sensitive species. Can easily be tested using the Hanna High Range Copper Colorimeter (HI702).

I have some of the home made solution (got the science teacher at my kids high school to make it up) and I have cuprimene. Unfortunately I'm on the island in Port Alberni. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks all! So many replies.

I have found some and fortunately, looks like I may not need it anyways.
