Where do you get ciproflaxin? Is it something that requires a prescription? How do you use it to treat the tank? That too me seems better than taking corals out to dip especially if you have big corals that are well attached to the rocks.I keep ciprofloxacin on hand for when needed, and am actually running it right now. Hammer has been stinging the torch for weeks now, and my neglect ended up with the torch losing about 3 heads with BJD springing up in their place. Took out the torch yesterday and chopped off the BJD heads (unfortunately did a hack job and split the skeleton).
I do the full in tank cipro treatment when BJD comes around. I've had limited success with dips, although some success with BJD going away. I think the KFC dip is a great way to get your euphyllia as healthy as possible before it goes into the tank, but I'm not 100% on using it for treatment--prefer the 6 day in-tank cipro treatment:
Experimenting with in-tank antibiotic treatments for Brown Jelly Disease
Brown Jelly Disease (BJD) is an issue many reefers have run into. Like most coral diseases, the pathogen causing BJD has not been conclusively determined. Here I will share some observations and test results supporting the idea that its caused by a bacterial pathogen, and so may be treatable...www.reef2reef.com
