Sandy, everything you said was true except for the anti-bacterial
agent. It can be erradicted using good husbandry (water quality) and
adding nutrients back that are missing, most notably NO3 and PO4. Try
it and see!



I don't have it anymore. I used to have it in both tanks till I got two
Plecs., now it is no more

The below was taken from here.

"Phosphate or PO4 is a prime food source of algae, particularly
cyanobacteria or slime forms."

I also found this which backs up your method.

This is worth a read.

It seems we should try evrything and see what works for us
