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 medicine and dosed as below.
My tank is 300L tank. So as i read i mixed 50ml of RODI and 500MG of Ciprofloxacin tablet.
300 x 0.125 = 37.5 /10 = 3.75ml
I used the above formula.
Before dosing the Ciprofloxacin solution
I removed all the hammers and frogspawn and added Revive Coral cleaner to seperate Bucket and added 500mg of Ciprofloxacin and let the hammer and frogspawn for 10mins with air bubbles and placed back in the tank.
Few questions: 1. Am i doing right ?
2. I didnt turn off skimmer as i read it was not necessary.
3. I dosed 3.75ml in the morning (due to fear that i might loose corals)
4. Is the dosing fish safe and other corals safe?
5. How many days do i have to dose?
6. Do i need to do water change?
7. Should i add bacteria after the treatment and how and which brand?
Thanks in advance
