Wait 48 hours, then repeat the dose. For non-dropper caps, each inner ring measures 1 mL. Use a half dose in freshwater. The final copper concentration is 0.5 mg\/L in marine water and 0.25 mg\/L in freshwater. Maintain this concentration for 14 days and do not redose without testing copper levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreshwater and marine fish aquariums where treatment for external parasitic infections is required.
