Ok i have read up on the two ich cures and i had a question or two more. Today I used the coppersafe in the tank. Now what im confused about is this, I put the right amount in today ( 5ml for every 4gs.) Now, am I suppose to repeat the same process tomorrow or let that be it for the whole month they say it treats the tank? Or, only add the correct amount back into the water when I do the water changes?
Question 2: Can I do both methods? The Coppersafe and raise the temp/salt addition? Any help would be much obliged. Just paid $100 for all these geos and satans. and not tryin to lose em and there lookin pretty bad off right now. 3 or 4 are just grouped up at the bottom of the tank not doin much movement. They are all eating still except one. The one with worst case. All over his body. The other jurupari are pretty large 5-6 inches and have pretty much just gotten it. i.e only on the fins. The other guys are like 2 inches so im afraid they might not beat this. thx yall for any quick replies.
 
they make stuff called ick gaurd as well that works pretty good um i dont know about coppersafe but what i usually do is raise the temp and add salt and ick gaurd and that helps alot.
 
well thank you tim. coppersafe says it treats it as well and i spent my last $10 today so im gonna have to go with it. I am raising the temp to 82 as we speak. Getting the aquarium salt tomorrow from a buddy so hopefully when i wake up ill still have some fish left. its only about 3-4 of the 10 that are acting pretty bad.
 
You don't want to re-dose the tank. It's the same as keeping the right salinity, in other words, if you take out 25% of water you replace 25% of the coppersafe.
