Not worth the risk. Erythromycin nukes your biofilter, and black band's often a combo of bacteria and cyanobacteria. Stick to mechanical removal and dips.

Update: Did the peroxide dip and fragged the healthy parts. Lost about 20% of the colony but the rest looks stable. Thanks for all the advice, everyone.
