One of my golds has lymphocystis - this had been waxing & waning for 6 months now. I always thought that there is not much you can do to treat that - except wait it out for 1-2 years.

I read in Koivet that you can now cure this with acriflavine <although results still in dispute>. Anyone has any experience with this?

Tank spec - Temp 72, pH 7.8, NH3/NO2/NO3 0,0,10 <adding KNO3 to maintain this level>. Wet/dry as in sig, return pump nominal 680gph (more like 400 in real life.)
 
I've only heard about mixed results with Acriflavine, but it seems to be the only medicine that has given any result at all, in tests. I say it's worth a try, although I have never had any experience with it.
