doctors.. its an antibiotic!

Isn't it in the Maracyn? It says on my packet here that each one contains 200mg erythromycin is that the same stuff? I've got it bad too in some of my tanks and have been scared to add this as of yet, though everything that I've looked up online says to use it. Not the Maracyn 2, just the regular one.

if its antibiotic, why can't anyone used their leftovers (say doxycycline for acne)?

Yes Maracyn is it. I am just finishing up a five day does that they recomend and all of my blue green algae is gone.

Make sure you get Maracyn and NOT MARACYN II it's not the same.

awesome! now will it hurt the fish since they aren't needing the meds? I've got it bad in a tank of habrosus cories and a bit (transfered with the java moss) in a few betta tanks
