trust me ben this stuff if it is at a high enough concentration will kill most all of the algae.

Puzzdre, i wouldn't trust any antibiotic to do this. penicillin won't cut it. erythromycin is by far the most potent, cheap, widely availible antibiotic for this purpose. i've run it in my loop for quite some time and nothing bad has happened that i've noticed. if you use tygon or equililent hose(in terms of not absorbing additives) you should only have to add in another capsule worth once every couple months maybe depending on the rest of your coolant solution.
