I would think that if you keep medicating that disease would build a tolerance to the meds much like humans. I will be avoiding foods with copper since I don't think it is a great idea to treat for disease unless they actually have it. Would copper not build up in the fish's system to toxic levels over time? I would hope if I have a healthy system and healthy fish, I would not need to medicate or give food that has any sort of meds in it.

Am I mistaken in thinking this?

I'm sure many people with reefs use it and have unexplained coral death or can't keep certain coral, this may be a contributing factor after all any reefer will tell you copper and coral don't mix well.
