Just upped my carpet game 1000% purchased this blue carpet for 170!!!
We are now going through a very very slow acclimation!

Do you guys know anything about using Cipro ICE?

Blue Haddoni looks great so far...keep and eye on the mouth and have Cipro ready if any signs of deflation/open mouth/etc.
I’ve been doing a lot of research on Cipro, I can’t seem to find a definitive answer as to when to pull the anemone and start using it...
other than gaping mouth and deflation.
Are there any other warning signs to look for?
As a founder of a this thread I would love anyone who has used Cipro on there Carpets to share their story!

I treat every new carpet, regardless of how it looks upon arrival. Treatment success rates are much higher the earlier you catch the infection. The only exception is if I'm buying an established carpet from another member.

So it’s safe to assume that I should treat it anyways?!
