Some antibiotics can tell 'good' bacteria from 'bad' bacteria.
It's commonly know that Erythromycin (maracyn I) kills gram negative type bacteria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_negative_bacteria
Gram negative bacteria do not include nitrifying bacteria.

Maracy II on the other hand kills a broad spectrum of bacteria.

Plus, most of us have used Erythromycin without ill effects to the cycle.
