Question:

Does copper power get rid of marine itch?

i went to my local pet shop to get something to get rid of my marine itch in my tank, 1 fish has it, and i bought a blue liquid called Copper Power for 5 bucks, he said to use a capfull everyday for 7 days straight, its a 100 gallon tank, has anyone ever used Copper Power?

Answer:

Copper medications will help get rid of ich, but they must be used in a hospital tank with no live sand or live rock. The copper in the medicine will bond with the calcium carbonate in the rock and sand, so don't use it in your display tank. A simple bare-bottomed 15 gallon tank will suffice, and use a filter with mature media.
