PS hes in a 125, i have no hospital tank(in use) ive started salt and temp increase to 86-87 with large water changes and gravel vac, il pu erythromycin tonite???
 
I read some where in a thread Here several ways to rid your tank. without tearing down. One was to run bleach in the water and filter for a day or so. Then put heavy dose of declorinator. and run it.
You will have to recycle the system ( It will destroy your biologicals ) but you won't have to scrub every thing in the setup.
