Seachem - MultiTest Copper (75 tests) Marine & Freshwater

The Seachem MultiTest Copper is an essential water testing kit designed for both marine and freshwater aquariums. This high-precision test kit is specifically developed to measure copper concentrations, providing accurate results for total copper levels, whether free or chelated. This is critical for maintaining the correct copper dosage, especially when using copper-based treatments for parasites and diseases in fish.

Purpose and Use
Copper is commonly used as an effective treatment against external parasites, but it must be maintained at therapeutic levels to ensure both safety and effectiveness. The MultiTest Copper allows aquarists to monitor copper concentrations precisely, helping to avoid under-dosing, which can make treatments ineffective, or overdosing, which can harm or kill fish and invertebrates.

How to Use

1. Rinse the test vial with aquarium water.
2. Fill the vial with the sample water.
3. Add the appropriate number of test reagents as per the included instructions.
4. Compare the sample color to the included color chart to determine the copper concentration.
5. Use the readings to adjust copper-based treatments as needed.

Ingredients
The kit contains laboratory-grade reagents designed to interact with copper ions in water, producing an easy-to-read color result. The test is based on a colorimetric method sensitive enough to detect copper concentrations as low as 0.01 mg/L (ppm).

Why It’s Important

Monitoring copper levels is crucial when treating aquarium fish for parasites, as improper copper concentrations can lead to ineffective treatment or serious harm to aquatic life. Seachem MultiTest Copper ensures accurate measurements and peace of mind, making it an indispensable tool for both hobbyists and professional aquarists who use copper-based medications.
