I am in the process of treating my tank for fin rot. I have put three doses of tetracycline in so far and I have one more to go tomorrow. I have also changed 25% of the water tonight and I will change another 25% tomorrow before I return my filter. I also took out my carbon filter(as the directions said) so I understand that my water is somewhat mirky on account of that, but on to my question. Does Tetracycline make your water somewhat mirky since it is a yellow color? Does it also make your water VERY bubbley on the surface? After I put the filter back in tomorrow should I take out all of my decorations and scrub then or is it ok to leave them in there? Thanks for the help!

Yes, tetracycline will cause a yellow color and the bubbles you are seeing in your tank, that's totally normal.
No need to remove anything from the tank and scrub it, the carbon will remove the medication within a day or so.
You said you have one more treatment to add tomorrow. In that case DO NOT place the carbon back in the filter tomorrow! Wait until at least the day after so the medication has time to work.

it truly is incredibly safer to take to antibiotics on a similar time (basically on prescription of path) with a view to ward off bacterial resistance. you're asserting that your brother has substitute into resistant to the antibiotic. incredibly it truly is not your brother that has substitute into immune, however the micro organism that contaminated him. in case you're taking an antibiotic over a protracted quantity of time, the prospect that micro organism will strengthen resistance against the drug rises. The resistant micro organism isn't kill and save on replicating, making the an infection worse. in case you're taking 2 antibiotics on a similar time, those the have developed resistance against one antibiotic will nevertheless be killed by ability of the different and much less resistance will emerge. it truly is the theory for treating tuberculosis or HIV case in point, the place 3 or 4 drugs are given concurrently. Why is you're brother taking tetracyclines for this variety of long term. is it a persistent ailment like cystic fibrosis?
