Sensitive and accurate test for measuring dissolved or weakly chelated copper. The Salifert Copper Test Kit combines ease-of-use with laboratory-grade precision. Copper is often used in medications that treat for parasites. However, copper concentrations higher than therapeutic values can be toxic to fish. Copper is toxic to invertebrates and should not be present in reef aquariums. Use Salifert Copper Test Kit to detect copper or to measure residual copper levels before and after using copper cures in fish-only aquariums. Also great for testing tap or source water for copper. For marine and freshwater aquariums. 50 tests.
Range: 0.05 ppm to 2 ppm

Instructions:
- Add 2 ml of water in the test vial.
- Add 5 drops of the Cu reagent and swirl gently for 5 seconds.
- Allow it to stand for 10 minutes. Some copper medications might use strongly bound copper and would require a waiting time of 20 minutes. In case of doubt compare the value after 10 and 20 minutes of waiting. The highest value should be noted.
- To obtain the copper concentration, hold the test vial in front of you. Place the white part of the color chart firmly against the side of the test vial and look from the opposite side.
NOTE: Strongly chelated copper will only be partly or not at all detected.

| Tap Water Treatment | | Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives. |
| | How to Use a Refractometer | | Serious hobbyists know that the best way to measure the salinity and specific gravity of aquarium water is to use a refractometer. These precision optical instruments are incredibly accurate even at very low salt levels, and are equally easy to use. |
| | Professional Testing on a Beginner's Budget | | Testing your water parameters is an important method of foreseeing problems in your aquatic ecosystem before they result in catastrophe. Luckily, tools that were once only accessible (and affordable) to advanced hobbyists have since become simpler. |
