Medications and beneficial bacteria

Quick cure kills bb, but it also is one of the fastest Meds to kill ich.

Meth blue for fungus will kill BB.

API General Cure, Seachem Paraguard, and Tetra Parasite Guard do not kill BB.

Medication for gram positive bacteria like Erythromycin, Tetracyclines will kill BB.

Medication for gram negative bacteria (most fungus treatments) like Kanamycin, Minocycline, Nitrofurazone, and Furazolidone don't kill BB.

Well at first I stupidly tried to boil my siphon (didn't work out so well) and the plastic started melting do I stopped. Because the angelfish in my 30 has a gram+ fungal infection I try to wash the siphon in very hot (but not boiling) water for a few minutes, wash the inside and out of the hose.
