Who knows, but the antibiotic did resolve whatever was sloughing my acros. No science here, just experience...

So Brad did you notice any sort of cycle after treating the tank? I curious what effect the antibiotic would have on the bacteria in the rock.
UV sounds like a good idea,it would clear up any free floating bacteria or viruses,maybe stop it from spreading.
