Fishnut,

You have gotten great advice here. [img]smile.gif[/img] Use it wisely. :D As for anti-biotics. A couple of concerns with using these in a tank is that if the cyano isn't all killed they can develop a resistance to the anti-biotics. Same as what is happening with humans now and anti biotics. a second concern is that it can hurt the bacteria in your tank. The stuff you want to have living.

Treat the cause of cyano not the symptoms, is what it comes down to.

Jeff,

It's Dale. :D

I will answer the question as asked. Yes I have tried (and still use)Chemipure with excellent results.

Bob,

Chemipure isn't a red slime remover. It is a chemical substitute for Carbon.

Fishnut was asking about anti-biotics for cyano-bacteria.
