accidental overdose of coppersafe! help!


ok, so i bought a white faced tang, and of course, they are ich magnets. and now my 2 maroon clows and midas blenny all have ich. so i put them all in the hospital\nano (12 gallon) and treated with coppersafe for the first time. read the instructions, but i misunderstood, and doubbled the dose, thinking it was a daily treatment instead of a monthly. i just had my wife move the fish out of the hospital, and back into the main tank. my clowns are not doing very well (heavy breathing, laying on ground), the tang seems ok, even though he still has the ich on him. any suggestions?

Not much to recommend other than possibly doing a few water changes in the display and giving the fish plenty of nutrition. Hope they make it through for you.

Keep sick fish in hospital tank and check all your water Parimeters in your reg tank.

Hopefully no copper made it's way into the display. Is it a reef?

BTW, I killed 1 tang and 1 clown with copper safe. I don't know how "safe" it really is. I brought it back to the store and got my money back.
