Brad are you doing 8 weeks too? That seems be the concensus from what I've read but some say 10?

I read 42 days somewhere, 8 weeks was being safe. Not sure where I found that though.

Just ran a couple of searches, most sites list 6-8 weeks, 8 giving a better chance of clearing it from the tank. Higher temps speed up the process, but might be harmful to corals.

Well some bad news... lost another fish.

Today it was my Flame Angel. That brings the death toll to 4.

Did a 5 gal waterchange and added a little more copper to the tank.

Fingers crossed cuz I'm running out of fish!

+1 to measuring copper. A seachem kit is cheap enough
