Salifert Test Kit Copper

Product details

Salifert Test Kit Copper is a water test kit designed to measure dissolved or weakly chelated copper levels in aquarium, marine, fresh, and even garden pond water. Copper is commonly used as a treatment for parasite-infested fish, and it’s important to use the correct concentration because levels that are too high can be toxic to marine fish and invertebrates. The kit is also useful as routine verification, since tap water can be naturally high in copper.

Features:

• Helps you verify copper dosing during copper-based parasite treatment cycles
• Supports regular testing because tap water may contain naturally occurring copper
• Uses a color chart read against the vial to determine copper concentration
• Designed for dissolved or weakly chelated copper at a pH of 7.5–9
• Includes guidance on timing and reading after standing (with optional comparison if results differ)
• Provides enough reagent for up to around 50 tests for routine checks
• Notes that strongly chelated copper may not be fully detected by this test
• Not for consumption; keep out of reach of children
