Unlike other copper products it is both highly effective and safe in freshwater as well as marine water.
Copper test kit for cupramine.
It does not damage the filter bed.
I was really skeptical about the effectiveness of this test kit in conjunction with cupramine copper treatment after reading lots of mixed reviews about the overall quality of the test misleading amount of tests in the kit etc.
After doing some geometry i figured that i actually had 9 5g of water in there so i added 19 drops on day one.
Considering that you have already added cupramine to your reef aquarium i would definitely follow the instructions 2 doses 2 days apart.
You can make sure of this by testing with our multitest copper test kit.
Also make sure to monitor your fish for increased signs of stress.

Marine or freshwater use.
Do not use in conjuction with paraguard.
This kit uses a highly sensitive catalytic compleximetric based procedure to measure all types of copper to less than 0 01 mg l in marine or freshwater.

This test kit works awesome.
The instructions are based on gallons 1 ml per 10 5 gallons.
Some kits measure only ionic copper and others measure both ionic and chelated copper.

If you use cupramine since it is copper based i would make sure to have some copper test kit on hand.
