Has anyone had any experience just running low level copper or copper safe in a FOWLR tank. I have had a few problems with ich and stuff and have just gotten to the point where I am tired of treating after the fact. I have been talking with my LFS, who is also a friend of mine. He has told me over and over that I should just decide to not put any inverts in there and run some copper in the tank at low levels, or run coppersafe for a month then off a month. I think he has finally convinced me that the amount of money I stand to loose makes it worth the negative aspect of not putting any inverts in there (which I would not do anyway).
Anyone have any thoughts on this???? Keep in mind that I have 3 other tanks so I have no worries about needing this one for inverts.
Also anyone who had done it, do you just treat the water with coppersafe (the way I think I would go) as instructed. I think it says 1 teaspoon per 4 gallons, and then replenish as you do water changes? Or do you just do the first treatment and then leave it alone until you need to treat again. Keep in mind I want to use the copper safe as a prophylactic rather then after the fact.
TIA
