safety & precautions
Copper is a powerful tool in treating external parasites, but its effectiveness lies in precise control. Unlike other treatments, the difference between a therapeutic dose and a harmful one can be quite small—so accuracy is everything.
Avoid the guesswork. To ensure the safety of your marine life, always measure your copper dosage with graduated dosing syringes or precision tools. Eyeballing the amount or using imprecise measuring cups can easily lead to overdosing, which may stress or harm your fish.
We strongly recommend monitoring copper levels throughout the treatment period with a high-accuracy test kit. This ensures you're staying within the safe and effective range (1.5–2.5 ppm) and allows for immediate adjustments if needed.
Never mix with other medications unless specifically directed.
Do not exceed 2.5 ppm.
Remove invertebrates before dosing—Copper Power is not reef-safe.
Avoid rapid changes in copper levels; raise concentrations gradually over several days.
Being precise not only protects your tank's ecosystem—it gives your fish the best chance at a full recovery.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For safe and effective parasite treatment using Copper Power Saltwater Treatment, it is essential to maintain a minimum copper concentration of 1.5 ppm. While this is the best among Copper Power Marine Supplements, it can be used at levels as high as 2.5 ppm; most aquarists find success within the 1.5 – 2.0 ppm range, especially when treating ich or velvet.
To ensure a gentle and stress-free treatment for your marine inhabitants, we recommend gradually increasing copper levels over several days, rather than dosing all at once. This slow and steady approach minimizes stress on fish and allows for better copper stability in the tank.
Recommended Dosage Guide:
0.89 mL per gallon = 1.5 ppm copper
1.18 mL per gallon = 2.0 ppm copper
1.475 mL per gallon = 2.5 ppm copper (maximum recommended)
Calculate the total dose based on your system's volume and divide it into smaller doses, added daily over the span of about a week. This staggered method allows copper levels to rise gradually and safely to your desired target.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Copper Power in a reef tank with corals and invertebrates?+
No. Copper Power is not reef-safe and should only be used in fish-only systems or dedicated quarantine tanks. Copper can be toxic to invertebrates like shrimp, snails, and corals.
How long does a single dose of Copper Power stay active in the tank?+
Thanks to its highly stable formulation, a single application can remain active for several weeks to months, provided water changes are minimal and copper isn’t removed via specific filtration media.
Do I need to redose Copper Power after water changes?+
Yes. If you perform a water change, you’ll need to recalculate the copper dosage for the new water volume added and re-dose accordingly to maintain therapeutic levels.
Can I mix Copper Power with other medications or treatments?+
It’s not recommended unless specifically advised by a professional or the manufacturer. Mixing medications may cause unexpected reactions or increase stress on fish.
Will Copper Power affect the clarity of my aquarium water?+
Not at all. One of the benefits of Copper Power is that it doesn’t cloud the water or leave visible residue, unlike some other treatments.
