antibiotics in DT?

[KnightlyBuzz]

So antibiotics are bad for coral, right? Since I haven’t added any coral yet, tank is about 7 months old, could I add antibiotics? Would pods, snails and biofilter be ok? [I was thinking about the Trifecta (metro, kanaplex & furan2).]

what fish are you trying to treat in the DT and for what ailment?

I’ve been feeding my 3 fish (2 clowns and royal gramma) Fenbendazole for over 2 weeks for white stringy poop. Poop is still stringy, but maybe more tan-like now. I also have 1 of the clowns with a deteriorating tail, we are guessing from nipping from the royal gramma (although the clown instigates it). The same clown is clamping his fins somewhat as well, but still seeks out the royal gramma and hovers around the entrance to his cave. I could remove the clown, but in my 10 gallon hospital tank I would think he’d be stressed even more, and since all fish still have stringy poop I’m thinking it might be bacteria and not parasites. So perhaps dose the DT with antibiotics, to help with the stringy poop, the clown’s tail and the clown’s fin clamping?

So are antibiotics in DT that has zero coral a bad thing?
