used in veterinary medicine in combination with chlortetracycline and
penicillin
Maracyn Plus safe for display? Ahhh...no. 9/1/04
The guy at my LFS insists that Maracyn Plus (encapsulated Sulfadimidine +
Trimethoprim) is safe for display tanks with live rock and inverts.
<hehhehehehhehhe...hahhahahhahhah... wooooooo hoo! Ahhh... no.>
I am not
convinced.
<healthy and accurate skepticism>

<unquestionably not safe to many desirable life forms. You do know/recall the
root/def of the word anti-biotics? "against-life". This medicine WILL harm
and kill desirable and undesirable microscopic organisms and facultiers (like
your living filter/live rock)>
I've got a Sailfin with a cloudy white area
on caudal fin that may be a fungus infection. Symptoms so far do not shout ich
or velvet. Thanks, George.
<most all sick livestock are best removed to a
proper QT tank for these and other reasons. Anthony>
