Re: Blue Green Algae (was something else)
Hello All,
I too am having difficulty with this bacterial infection, and one of the
local boys recommended the same treatment as outlined below. However, I am
concerned about what this will do to the bacteria in my filters. Any
thoughts? Recommended doses? Brand names?

The least part, and the one
that bothers me the most, is Blue Green algae (which I've read is not an
algae at all but a bacteria). I seem to have developed a decidedly
pernicious strain and it is spreading to all my tanks. Mechanical removal
has been a losing battle and I've also read that erithytrhomiacin (sp.) can
stop it. I'm wondering if it is effective and if so, will it affect the
tank's inhabitants (fish and plants)?
