The Salifert Copper Profi-Test Kit is perfect for measuring copper levels within your aquarium. This mineral is an essential element for aquatic plants and fish, as it promotes photosynthesis and prevents anemia.

This Copper Profi-Test kit is ideal for monitoring copper levels in your saltwater aquarium. It is a common treatment for many parasites and can cause toxic effects on marine fish and invertebrates, so it’s important to test regularly and keep levels low.
To measure the copper concentration in the test vial, add 2 ml of water into the test vial and add 5 drops of the Cu reagent. Swirl gently for 5 seconds. Then wait for 10 minutes to allow the reagent to dissolve. Some copper medications might use strongly bound copper, requiring a longer waiting time. In case of doubt, compare the value after 10 and 20 minutes and note the highest one.
Using this copper test kit is extremely easy. The test kit comes with a syringe and test tube, and you only need to add a few drops of the reagent to the test tube. The color chart will then match the color of the reagent and you can see a change in the copper concentration.
This copper test kit is ideal for testing dissolved and barely dissolved copper with a pH of 7.5-9.
