Thanks everyone.

I have syphoned out as much as I could without doing a 100% water change. I will do the blackout method while I try and source the medication. Anyone in BOP able to give me the name of an aquatic friendly vet who sells the requires meds?

Cheers :)

The tank I had problems with was cured of blue green but about 20 female killies died over the next 2 weeks and showed signs of gill stress as you would expect from too much ammonia. After they died and were removed I did heaps of water changes over the next few weeks then got a heap of blue/green back. I suspect this was lack of nitrogen because of no fish. Have started adding fish back and fish are OK and blue/green is diminishing. It is all about getting the right balance. If you kill it with antibiotics but don't fix the imbalance you will get it straight back again.
