Sources of medications

Are you unhappy to find out the Kanaplex only has 40% kanamycin and the rest is inactive?

Do you have preference for generic real thing?

Do you mistrust ebay sources or is ebay in general a good source for medications? Do you have negative experience with ebay sources?

Kannaplex I mix heavier strength than seachem tells you plus I add furan or neomycin also to strengthen the antibiotic.

5 gram package Kanaplex is only two gram.

Ya. But kanamycin works well in marine fish. Absorbs through skin and doesn't disrupt biological or apetite so much. And can be mixed. So we should all just get it in from a vet iin powder form. Not sure pharmacies have kanamycin though. Look you could always use cipro or doxy or leviquen but they all have their issues in marine water and light and biological filter and the way the fish acts and eats.

eBay sources are all hit or miss, with most being a miss. Get your meds froma vet script. Alfa Aesar is a good source for certain meds, at least that's what I have heard from a few others. I will order from them when I need meds again to see how quality the meds are

Yes, just that I can no longer get it from a lower cost source than Kanaplex, which has 60% filler.
