The difference between a medicine and a poison is the dose!![]()
May be harmful to fish, and particularly invertebrates, if overdosed. Depends on the level of overdosing - slight is likely ok, heavy is not (e.g. doubling the dose - although I know some hobbyists do it).
WOO!! I'll be taking care to do it right, thanks for the input.

Worked pretty damn good.. on BBA, same as metricide i suppose, within 10 days all algae in tank was gone.
I had various fish, and shrimp and nothing ever died
