The API Copper Test Kit measures total copper, including free and chelated copper, from 0 to 4.0 ppm in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It is used to monitor copper levels when following a compatible medication's treatment instructions.
Kit Contents
API lists one copper test-solution bottle, a capped test tube, a color card, and an instruction booklet.
Important Copper Safety Notes
Copper treatments are not suitable for reef tanks, planted tanks, or aquariums containing shrimp, snails, corals, and other invertebrates. Test regularly during treatment; the target range depends on the exact medication. This kit's result does not guarantee a tank is free of every trace of copper below its detection range.
Follow the enclosed instructions for sample volume, reagent amount and color-development timing.
