A serious question...

[Joonburg]

Has anyone on here used Copper Safe to treat Ick or any other disease outbreak in their tank? If so, how effective is it as opposed to those useless dissolving tablets?

Copper will kill your inverts if you have any. Just an FYI

 

[Joonburg]

Yeah, I'm glad I don't have any. I'm trying to kill this Ick quickly and effectively. Hopefully this stuff works because the tablets aren't doing anything.

Yes it works but plain old heat works too. Just sllllooowwwwlllyyy raise your heat to 86 for a few weeks and your safe. Keep water pristine as well

I raised the temp. The fish looked stressed out when I was using the tablets. Today the ones that haven't died we're behaving like normal.

Did you add extra surface agitation? The added heat will decrease oxygen levels in the tank
