Jungle Labs Anti-parasite food reef safe?

So my tang has the case of the white stringy poo (internal parasites), so started treating him with this anti-parasite food that is medicated with prazi, metro, and something else....anyways directions say 4 weeks treatment, 3 days a week....one week is done, and fish seems to be pooping "more" normal now again....problem is, I just read the ingredients and it lists copper sulfate....should I stop using this food?  It says for salt and fresh water fish, but nothing about it being reef safe....corals seem fine and I knew it would be a risk for inverts but all is well after a week....I just don't want to keep using it if I am risking a crash from the copper sulfate in the food....advice?  Maybe the amount of copper sulfate in the food is too minimal to cause any harm in the first place?

I just looked at the active ingredients in Reef Fuel too, and it also says it contains copper sulfate....perhaps I am missing something here?  Agreed Capn, I better be safe than sorry...thanks for the advice!

You should probably be treating in a Quarantine tank.  I wouldn't risk any medication in my D/T.

I agree with Brad. Set up a QT tank for treatment. It's the safest way to go about treating the fish and it makes it easier to keep an eye on the fish.
