Water Change in Hospital Tank Question...

[TheSwampFox]

So, I've been treating my fish for marine ich with COPPER POWER in a 20 Gallon Long tank (only filled with 15 gallons because of small snowflake eel) I've been using Amquel and Stability to help keep the water clean, but I was wondering if while using a copper treatment if a water change is possible.

So basically I'm asking if it is possible how should it be done to ensure the copper level will be at the right measurement.

I am assuming if it is possible I would have to change the water, test the water, and then add copper based on the readings.

It is possible, and your assumption is correct.

Ok, is it advisable to change the water, or will the Amquel sufficiently detoxify everything and will Stability slowly add biological filtration? (using a small HOB with no carbon filter just filter floss)


If it isn't advisable I'd rather not do it.

Well, test your water and you will quickly find out whether or not amquel and stability are working.

If it is working, then just leave it be, if its not, then just do a w/c. Be nice and easy about it so you dont stress out your inhabitant.

I do think amquel, long term, isnt viable, but this is just to get rid of ick, and once he is better, it wont much matter.
