Check out the NLS forums regarding the copper in their food.

Thanks for the link. I think this will make an interesting topic all on its own.
Ive been using Nls in freshwater for years and its the best in my humble opinion. I't will be interesting to see what other reef keepers think.
Thanks again

Now its becoming a real pain. I was using Brightwell Aquatics Phosphat e on a daily basis along with a phos reactor. My readings were coming down and all was good, Or so I thought. I Got the readings down to .016 and then dosed for three more days before i could get it tested again. Guess what its back up to .026. Any Advice Please.

Your tank is only 4 month and still cycling; give it a chance to balance!
