bjd

Hi all, After spending the winter hoarding various euphyllias from flash sales and finally putting them into my display, I noticed BJD today :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: Can't lose these corals. I had an...

Hey Guys just wanted to share photos of this new banana grail I got from a new vendor in PA called Rosas reef and it is gorgeous (I have several lineaged HG over the years and this one is up there in beauty) On a side note , I was at RAP New York several weeks ago , I bought around a dozen...

Hello so I just finished setting up my new 125 display about 3 months ago. Added the first 2 batch’s of fish along with the News from my old tank along with a few mushrooms and 2 Kenya trees. 2 or 3 weeks ago I went a lotta bit crazy and bought a ton of euphyllia (torches, hammers and frog...

Hi. I noticed BJD and depleting hammer corals. I read about Ciprofloxacin dosing. My tank has zoas and variety of tangs and fishes. Also have mushrooms sps and lps. Also i got few clams and tube worms and donuts and brain corals. As soon as i read Ciprofloxacin treatment i rushed to buy the...

I would like to do an in tank treatment of Cipro for my Euphylia. I successfully completed a 6 day cycle of it about a month ago but I have a few torches that appear as if they could benefit from another treatment. Within this time I’ve also developed mild cyano which doesn’t appear to be...

Hi all, A few weeks ago I posted about two of my torches having Brown Jelly, I removed them and put in quarantine and tried coral dips and cutting off the heads, but they died in the end. They did last almost 2 weeks. Today I found another torch dead with the same Brown Jelly, almost two...

HI reefers. Hope all well. Off late i had been losing my torch coral heads one after another. Despite fragging the frag head could not survive the slow decay and finally Brown jelly was Visible just before its last breath. I searched various Forum and also read how Antibiotics can...

I had a branching hammer retract, bleach and was pretty bad off. It looked moments away from death. It didn't extend at all for almost a week, when It extended slightly It was bleached on every head. It had 3 heads. Woke up one day and one head had BJD. In a panic I ordered some cipro online...

I recently read this article that said Polyp Lab's Reef Primer (made of "potassium salts") was effective in treating brown jelly disease via his trials with a microscope. https://reefbuilders.com/2021/04/21/reef-primer-demonstrated-to-effectively-treat-brown-jelly-ciliates/ This food prep...

Hello, would appreciate some feedback here. I woke up to one of my torches having BJD this morning. I panicked a bit and in pulling it out of the tank the jelly went everywhere... A piece of it even got stuck on one of my acans :( I currently have a bunch of other torches, frogspawn, and acans...

Hello, I've had a wall hammer one month. It's been doing fine and the rest of the tank but suddenly my wall is closed up on one end and he is spewing brown stringy stuff. My parameters are ammonia 0, nitrite 0, Nitrate 20, alk 8.2, PH 8.2, phosphates 0.16, salinity 35 ppt. He's in low flow and...

I'm dealing with a case of BJD and found this gem of an article (below) I want to give it a go but there is no reference to a brand of cipro (Ciprofloxacin)... I was gonna snag a bottle of Thomas Labs but then decided to take it to the forum. Experimenting with in-tank antibiotic treatments...

Current Treatment Strategies for Brown Jelly Disease I’ve been asked to summarize the current findings concerning Brown Jelly Disease for those that need a quick reference if they encounter it in their own tank. For a link to current tests investigating possible treatments, see here. First, if...

Hey Reefers- Been battling BJD for about 3 weeks now on one of my Australian yellow hammers. It's been slowly losing flesh for a few weeks and looks to be coming to it's last days. This will be the 2nd yellow hammer I've lost to brown jelly. Weirdly enough, it's only been the yellow hammers...

So, I bought a branching hammer frag about two weeks ago. Looked great in the store (and so did everything else), and I got a great deal. Yesterday when I got home, I noticed some brown junk on the coral. I didn't worry about it (I was exhausted), but this morning it looked worse. I learned...
