What medication?

 

[Spike_ea_2k6]

waste control ( organic waste eliminator )

and cycle ( biological aquarium supplement )

Neither one of those are meds, they are more of a water treatment/additive. Cycle advertises itself as a bacterial suppliment, the only reliable one I have heard of is Bio Spira, which must be kept refrigerated since it contains live bacteria.

Waste control is another additive which does more for making the aquarist feel better than anything else. The best waste control for plecs is water changes with frequent gravel vacs.

Is there any particular reason you plan on using these additives?

 

[LisaLQ]

Cycle's fine (well - we've used it before with no problems), but I'd leave the waste control. Only way to control waste in any tank is with elbow grease - ie. water changes and gravel vacs

the only reason why i want tto use waste conrol is because it say for algea as well
