I have had some tough times with my clown tank recently. I had a very low ph of 4.5 for about 2 months and finally realised it was very low KH that was a problem. Added some shells and brought the ph up as slowly as possible to 7.
3 of my clowns are in very bad shape with black splotches on their bodies, very slightly misty eyes, but terrible fins with jagged edges.
I also got myself some bacterial medicine - it's called Azoo Bacterial treatment and contains Methylene Blue and Acrinol. Has anybody used this in the past and how safe is it for clowns? Should I dose the entire tank or quarantine the sick clowns?

It’s a 120ml bottle in liquid form. It only mentioned Methylene Blue and Acrinol. I have attached the url for your reference

AZOO BACTERIA TREATER works well against most bacteria diseases: Columnaris disease, Tail and Fin Rot, Red Mouth disease, Peduncle disease, Eye disease, Furunculosis, Septicaemia, Scale protrusion, Ulcer disease and Dropsy.

Three of the clowns who had cloudy eyes and fin rot have been put into a small quarantine tank where they are being medicated. Some signs of recovery are present (cloudy eyes seem to have cleared up and fin rot seems to have stopped). The instructions provided by Azoo mention that treatment should be continued for 3 days in a row.
The new problem that seems to have surfaced is that a couple of new clowns are showing signs of fin rot and cloudy eye in the main tank. Should I medicate the whole tank (79gal) ? the disease seems to be infectious….

I do not have any plants in my 79 gallon clown tank. The only reason I am thinking about medicating the whole tank is cause I think the infection may be contagious, also the quarantine tank is just 1 foot in length and I am not comfortable keeping the three 4" clowns in such a small tank.
The only problem that I foresee is that all the beneficial bacteria will get wiped out if I medicate the whole tank....but this may be the only option that I have...especially if the infection is spreading to other clowns in the tank.
Please advice.
