Feel like quitting...

If you use Cupramine you cannot use a product to bind with ammonia as it will bind with the amine in Cupramine and then release the copper into a toxic form. Did you use any ammonia binder like Prime with the Cupramine? That would bind with the amines in cupramine and release the copper into a toxic form, at least from what I understood.

They say Stability is safe, but not ammonia binders.

I read that as well, never used Prime, used RODI water to mix salt. Then half dose cupramine spread out into three doses about fifteen minutes apart. Just used stability to help with good bacteria. Really bothers me to lose fish, especially now ones I have had a year and a half.
