Sulfadimidine, which is also known as sulfamethazine, is widely
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>
What do you think?
<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>
