As a follow-up to my prior post about an ill platy (tuberculosis), I've been advised a generic anti-internal-bacteria solution from Interpet by my local petshop to help treat the tank and ensure the rest of the fish remain okay.
All I need to know, before adding it, is whether or not it's safe to keep the bio-media in the tank while the medication is doing it's work. The instructions state to remove the carbon, as well as any 'zeolite filter media'. So far as I know I don't have any of the latter but it got me worried this might have some kind of negative affect on my bio-media, meaning the medication might sterilise the entire tank.
Any insight on this before I use it? I don't want to go making any mistakes, least of all right now.
