I have the thread with the yellow tang with the bacterial infection. i got the medicine but its a little diff.
mardel maracyn-oxy this is what i got.
is this pretty close or the same to Maracyn Two for Saltwater?

No, its not the same. Are you sure that is all the ingredients?? You can use it however, until you can get Maracyn Two. If the LFS doesn't have it, online stores will.

Did they have Maracyn Two for Freshwater fish at the store? Its the same antibiotic, but less potent?
How bad is the situation with the tank? Where is your other topic? Do you have pictures?
