I never thought of that, you're right!
They're also useful for killing algae spores and preventing bacterial blooms.

Treat for at least 10 days, I will add.From here (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/medications-to-keep-on-hand.213574/):
Anti-bacterial/antibiotics: A broad spectrum antibiotic that treats both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial diseases is recommended. Seachem Kanaplex, Furan-2, Nitrofuracin Green Powder and Triple Sulfa Powder are all good options to have on hand. Erythromycin & Minocycline can also be used but are becoming more difficult to find. To achieve the widest possible spectrum of treatment when battling a particularly nasty bacterial infection, combine the following: Kanaplex, Furan-2, and metronidazole (exs. Seachem MetroPlex, Metro-MS).
Use both (Kanaplex & Furan-2) at once, but I will refer to Humblefish if he has anything else to offer on this.

Nope.Sand bed in QT tank?
What does it mean when people say treat for 10 days? Keep adding meds or just leave them in the tank?You can also add Metroplex to this to treat for certain anaerobic bacterial diseases.
So how do I know when everything is cured?So for kanaplex, dose every 2 days for 10 days total.
Edit: Maritimer explained it better than I could.

ThisFollow the directions for the meds in regards to how often to dose. Just extend the treatment so that the water is fully medicated for the full 10 days.
