Is Alken Clear-Flo compatible with algaecides, antibiotics or pesticides?
Algaecides indiscriminately kill living microorganisms including beneficial bacteria, such as those in Alken Clear-Flo. If you must use these, wait at least 14 days before applying Alken Clear-Flo to clean up the ensuing debris. (One distributor has had success with Sonar weed killer followed by Alken Clear-Flo 1200 in ten days.) Alken Clear-Flo is susceptible to most common antibiotics. If you must use antibiotics for your fish, wait at least 48 to 72 hours after treatment to reseed your system with Alken Clear-Flo. A small dose of many pesticides can be consumed by Alken Clear-Flo 1200. If the pesticide contamination is known to be large, you can supplement with Alken Clear-Flo 7002 for effective remediation.
