This may not be new to you guys but when I was researching meds I wrote an email to Kordon to ask if one of their products was compatable with CopperSafe. This is from an article that he asked me to go read:

Important Notice: There is new information about the adverse effects of heavy metals on fishes. Copper is a heavy metal. Therefore, concern has to be given when considering the use of a copper treatment in an aquarium or pond. See Kordon Article "The Importance of Removing Heavy Metals From Aquarium and Pond Water" for further information. Kordon will no longer be providing products with copper ingredients for treating fishes, because of the scientific evidence that such products are harmful to fishes and aquarium and pond keeping.
