Aquarium Medications Part 3; Chemical Treatments

[Carlrs]

I have updated part three of my "Aquarium Medications" article that deals with treatments such as Malachite Green , Acriflavin, etc.

Here is a quote:
It is noteworthy that Malachite Green will stain your aquarium silicone (usually permanently), but this is not damaging to the silicone nor does it leech back out (which is the reason the stain is permanent).
Malachite Green is also quickly absorbed by organic matter in an aquarium or pond, so it is usually rendered in effective in a low bio load aquarium within 48 hours and in as little as 12-24 hours in a high bio-load pond.
