I did. There's a pretty good amount of experiences out there using Cipro for in tank treatment. There's also lots of experiences around using the KFC dip, which has Cipro and amoxicillin.

Given the state of my tank (most things dead, not a lot lot of money into it, the severity and breadth of the issue, the small size and effort required to restart a small tank of I nuked it, and the lack of other culprits), I chose to combine the two and dose at double the recommended strength (I dosed the amoxicillin at the same rate as cipro, not a lot of info about amoxicillin concentrations) for 5 doses every other day.

I did a water change and ran Purit the day after the last dose. I also put in more nitrifying bacteria.

Nothing left was negatively impacted. I'm seeing improvement in health and the test octospawn isn't unhappy after 4 days.
i've used cipro(actually during the time my OG was melting away. i suspected bacterial due to all other corals showing no signs of RTN/STN.) thanks to @Thuan i now have amox and will try my luck at the bi-daily dosing of it. i don't do WC's and rely on ICP's and @ home testing, so i'll probably run carbon towards the end.

when you added the bacteria, was it after the total treatment was done, or when?

I would wait a week or 2 for uv from light to degrade antibiotics.

After my water change and a couple days of running the Purit.
