Fritz Copper Test Kit (FR04004)
Accurate Copper Testing for Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums
The Fritz Copper Test Kit (FR04004) is an essential tool for aquarium keepers when using copper-based treatments. Designed for both freshwater and saltwater systems, this test kit measures free and total copper levels, ensuring safe and effective treatment of external parasites such as Ich and velvet.
Monitoring copper concentration is critical, as overdosing can harm fish and invertebrates, while underdosing reduces treatment effectiveness. This kit helps you achieve the therapeutic range of 1.5–2.0 ppm when using Fritz Coppersafe and ensures copper levels return to 0 ppm before reintroducing invertebrates.
