Hi Bqssamson, I recall an earlier topic on this - here it is "Algae Discs - Copper Issue," viewtopic.php?t=689&highlight=wardley Some of the comments there might help, along with any new comments people volunteer here.

I hear of people using Hikari Crab Cuisine successfully. I personally have not been able to find it at any LFS, but understand it doesn't list any copper type stuff on the ingredients list.

I do have the Wardleys, but don't use it, just to be on the safe side. I also have Hikari Algae Wafers, which I've used a couple times, but I have plenty of algae in my tank so I really don't need to feed them extra. When I do, it's mostly crushed flakes and various different freeze-dried stuff - given very sparingly.
