How bout some one make this a sticky for awhile :D

Well since I am sorta new to having a planted tank I was just wondering if we could all pool our knowledge onto a list. i ahve read numerous posts about how most meds can not be used in planted tanks.

could we start a list of meds/treatment that are safe for plants?

If no treatment for a particular disease is safe, how do you treat it?
 
I have 9 planted tanks. Most times I treat fish in an H tank unless I have a tankwide problem. Those times I could not, I have used the following meds w/o any adverse effect on the plants:

Maracyn
Maracyn II
Maraoxy
Erythromycin
Metronidazole and Hexamit
Melafix

Meds I will not put into a planted tank include Copper and Salt.
