Dragon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think it's harder to perform properly than many will lead you to believe and can be more stressful on fish than copper or hypo. I prefer cupramine for ease, and sometimes hypo for more sensitive fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmdh Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I did it with my Phantom clowns and it was really easy once I had the system down. I used 8 gallon tubs from Walmart. I got two cheap preset heaters and temperature probes from Amazon. Mixed up 5 gallon batches of SW the night before the transfer and the next morning did the deed. Dumped old water and rinsed and let everything dry till the next go round. If you do the minimum number of transfers (~72 hours) it reduces the workload. I also dosed Prime and Prazipro during the course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
