Cupramine™ – Copper Treatment for External Parasites

🐟 Professional-Grade Parasite Control for Freshwater & Marine Aquariums

Cupramine™ is a highly effective copper-based treatment for eliminating a wide range of external parasites in both freshwater and marine environments. It targets common pathogens such as Oodinium (velvet), Cryptocaryon (marine ich), Amyloodinium, Ichthyophthirius (freshwater ich), and other ectoparasites.

✅ Key Benefits

• 🌊 Superior Efficacy: Kills a broad spectrum of external parasites including ich, velvet, and marine ich.

• 💧 Active at Low Concentration: Fully ionic and remains in solution without precipitating or binding to tank surfaces.

• 🐠 Safer for Fish: Bound to an amine, making it far less toxic than traditional copper sulfate, chloride, or citrate.

• 🔬 Precision Dosing: Effective therapeutic dose starts at 0.2 mg/L, with a wide safety margin up to 0.8 mg/L.

• 🧽 100% Removable: Easily removed with activated carbon or CupriSorb™, ensuring complete control of copper levels.

• 🧪 Filter-Safe: Will not contaminate or compromise biological filtration media.

🧠 Why Choose Cupramine™ Over Other Copper Treatments?

Unlike other copper medications, Cupramine™:

• Is non-acidic, making it gentler on aquarium inhabitants.

• Does not precipitate, so it stays active in solution longer.

• Does not accumulate in substrate or filtration, reducing long-term contamination risks.

• Is highly bioavailable, meaning more of the treatment is effective in combating parasites.

🧷 Recommended Use

• For use in both freshwater and marine aquariums.

• Ideal for treating infected quarantine systems or display tanks under supervision.

• Monitor copper levels with a reliable copper test kit (Seachem MultiTest™ Copper recommended).

• Never use in tanks with invertebrates or corals.

⚠️ Important Safety Info

• Always dose carefully and monitor copper concentration.

• Remove carbon and chemical media during treatment (unless using CupriSorb™ for copper removal).

• Do not exceed 0.8 mg/L.

• Not safe for use in reef tanks or with invertebrates (snails, shrimp, crabs, corals).
