Are microbial products compatible with algaecides, antibiotics or pesticides?
Algaecides indiscriminately kill living microorganisms including beneficial bacteria. If you must use these, wait at least 14 days before applying microbial products to clean up the ensuing debris. These products are susceptible to most common antibiotics. If antibiotics are used for say fish, wait at least 48 to 72 hours after treatment to reseed the system with microbial products.
