I don't have saltwater methylene blue yet. Would maracide work? I also need to get some 8.2 buffer but other than that I'm good. So you think a dip every day or so with no meds in the tank should eradicate the disease, or should I put some copper in the tank? I don't have anything in my tank except for acrylic and equipment. So hopefully my equipment won't absorb copper. Since I have heard substrate and ornaments absorb copper.
