+1 And being you don't have corals/inverts in your tank, you can dose this directly into the DT. Antibiotics don't get absorbed like copper does and they don't last long in the water column. The old formula for "Chemiclean" - which people use to combat cyanobacteria in their reef tank - was basically just erythromycin. So, it's even (questionably) coral/invert safe.

HA! so glad you caught that for me! Thanks

Well, they are both still alive after a round to medication. Fingers crossed!

Just a FYI; antibiotics are notoriously slow acting in fish so it can take some time to show signs of improvement.

Should I keep running it till they show signs of improvement, or has it already done its think, and it just takes time to look better.

When using antibiotics, you want to treat for at least 10 consecutive days. Whether the fish looks better or not. This doesn't necessarily mean you add meds to the water every single day, but keep following the dosing instructions for your product for 10 straight days.
