Would there be a problem if I used maracyn, maracyn tc, and maracyn 2 together? I wont be adding them together, but I plan on treating for 5 days and wanted to use one for a couple days, the next for a couple, days and finish with the last.
 
according to Mardel (on the back of the Maracyn package) you can use Maracyn and Marcyn2 together, but it doesn't say you can use them with Marcyn-tc

suggest you check the packaging on Marcyn-tc to see what it is safe to use with


also, your treatment regimen sounds odd . . . why not use Maracyn and Maracyn2 together, but following the instructions for each?
 
Because I'm treating 260 gallons, and I already have a couple boxes of each. If I can save money by not going to buying a few more boxes of one I'm going too. That stuff is 17 dollars a box and I need to treat for 5 days.

I can't put my fish into a smaller hospital tank either, they are too large :(

If anything, I just wont use the TC

They are each more effective on different pathogens. Maracyn2 is also not a good idea on fish that are in a weakened state.
As far as a hospital tank goes for large fish I use a storage bin you can get them from wallmart for under 10 bucks usually. Set it up just like a Hosp tank. The primary concern is that the fish can turn around but it doesnt have to have a lot of swimming room.
