RE: Effect of Maracide on Plants
Mark McLean asked for effects of Maracide on plants. Mark, I've used this
in a couple of tanks with no ill effect on the plants. Your water will turn
florescent green and it will take water changes and a week or so of
filtering with carbon to remove the color once the treatment is finished.
On the other hand, I've had no luck with Maracide eliminating ich when it
was used recently. I resorted to Mardel (my fav fishy medicine company)
Coppersafe. With regards to the recent threads on copper poisoning in
plants, I have not experienced adverse affects from treatments lasting a
month or so. I have various Echinidorous, hygrophelia, and onion plants.
If Maracide doesn't work, try Coppersafe unless you have VERY sensitive
plants.
