    metronidazole for HLLE?

    Has anyone heard of this? I am not one for medicating tanks but this stuff is new to me and thought it might be a new treatment. hikari metro plus is one product and seachem metronidazole is another. both are claiming to be a treatment for HLLE which I have going on in my tank. thanks.

    thanka bunch for the link. I am not 100% sure it is HLLE. He does not have the line, just the head part. HLLE is impossible to cure....I've heard, so I am hoping for a different opinion.

    Powder Blue Tang

    I have had one for about 2 months. They are very ich prone but it is controllable. If you have an established tank (mine is 5 years old) and keep a good sterilzer on the tank, the ich will come and go without hitting your whole tank.
