LF copper
 
I know this might be hard to find but I might need it.

Cupramine or copper safe preferred but can't be picky since we can't get them in Canada anymore.

Thanks!

For our friends in Canada, a DIY copper med:

Into 1 liter of RODI water add:

4 grams Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O)

AND

0.25 gram Citric acid
- the acid acts as a stabilizer to the copper in solution. Never substitute the citric acid with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) since it will render the copper way more toxic. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/dat...ABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Everything should dissolve nicely giving you a slightly bluish solution.

9.8 mL of this solution is necessary to bring 100 Liters (26.4172 US gallons) of tank water to 0.1 mg/L copper. Therapeutic range is ~ 0.15 to 0.25 mg/L, but I would try to stay below 0.20 for sensitive species. Can easily be tested using the Hanna High Range Copper Colorimeter (HI702). http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/dat...ABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Copper
 
I have some of the home made solution (got the science teacher at my kids high school to make it up) and I have cuprimene. Unfortunately I'm on the island in Port Alberni. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks all! So many replies.

I have found some and fortunately, looks like I may not need it anyways.
