Copper/Cupramine Treatment for Cryptocaryon - Starts Today

Well today I started the cupramine copper product by Seachem - 7/9/2012.  The level tested after dosing was .25 following the instructions on the bottle.  I tested the copper with Seachem's copper test kit.  The kit unfortunately was damaged during shipping but there was enough left to test a few times thankfully.  I am going to wait 48 hours and dose another 1ml per 10.5 gallons of water. This should bring it up to the theroputeic level of .50.  Once there I will hold at that level for 21 to 28 days.  I will use carbon and cuprisorb which will pull the copper out of the water.  I will update on my progress so others in the hobby who are about to perform the same procedure have some reference.
