blue/green problem
I am trying to decide how to attack my blue green problem. Either try
antibiotics or a blackout? I have some new plants so I am afraid of doing a
blackout right now and I sorta hate to do the antibiotic because I don't
want to screw with my biological filtration. Can someone give me some
advice? Manual removal is not possible, it is getting pretty extreme. I
have cut back on the fertilizers this week and done a lot of water changes
but it isn't working. I can keep it off the substrate and the walls but it
is all in my fine leafed plants and I can't do anything about it.
Someone recommended Erythromycin. Can someone tell me what the dosage would
be for a 135gal?
Someone else recommended Maracyn (sp?). That is pretty expensive around
here.
Do antibiotics hurt snails or shrimp? And do I remove the carbon from my
filter?
Thanks,
Rick
