Cipro as a dip (not tank treatment)

[Empire]

Hey y’all - I’m coming off a nasty bacteria infection that killed all my tenius. I did a cipro treatment and the tank bounced back. I’m building my collection back up but I’m really paranoid about adding tenius back to the tank. I wanted to ask - has anyone done a cipro dip for sps? I’ve seen threads for lps but not much for sps. If so, how did you do it?

I personally would use
Coral RX
Revive
Seachem DIP
Brightwell

I have for frags losing tissue post shipping and it has been successful. Arcobacter has been implicated recently as a likely causative organism and is sensitive to ciprofloxacin (and possibly doxycycline depending on strain). I would recommend a 30-90 minute isothermal bath.

Using cipro as a preventative dip is uncharted waters. I would consider that for wild and maricultured colonies with a high risk of RTN. Not sure I would do that for aquacultured corals.
