Hey guys, slightly off-topic, had a mini disaster with the tank due to numerous factors (tank overheating, not cleaning the screen often enough, removing the foam pad filters from the power heads for 2 weeks and then putting them back only to have the suspended food in the water rot in the pads with no bacteria... all at the same time... we should know better, I know!).
Unforunately this caused an ich/cryptocaryon outbreak, and lost our bannerfish :cry:, however, the water quality is great now that we sorted those issues out, but there's a few fish looking slightly poorly and smothered in ich, despite the great water quality.
Now I'll finally get to the question, going to pull out all the inverts into a small 2.5' spare tank and then treat the tank/fish with Seachem Cupramine, which is copper based, but designed so that it can be removed with carbon within about a week (I have a copper test kit just in case). So, how will the algae on the scrubber react to the copper, will it kill it? Will it kill certain types? Will it absorb it? Does anyone have or know of anyone who's had experience with ATSs and copper based medications?
Thanks,
Tom.
