Depends on the brand..Aqua-cure Tetracycline is used at the rate of 4 g (one level teaspoon) per 20 litres. It will definately wipe out your bio filter, so be prepared.

Using Tetracycline,
Say your treating for Discus disease with Tetracycline in your hospital tank, does your main display tank have to be treated if discus desease was first diagnosed in that tank(dispaly) :?:

Better to treat in a hospital tank as the dose will be more accurate, but it depends on how many are showing symptoms.

Hmmm - any info on the box about the concentration. My bottle says 10g/100g tetracycline. Where did you get it from?
