I have looked thru many threads and tried some treatments but I feel I need more specific directions to go at this point. I’ve had this 6 line for about 9 weeks. He went thru 6 weeks of hypo salinity QT (unmedicated) before transferring him to my big SPS system. 7’x2’x18” frag tank. A couple weeks after introducing him, I noticed 1 eye starting to bulge behind and at the top of the eyeball. Upon reading about popeye on R2R, lots of threads said it could clear up on its own. So, I decided to give it a few weeks to see if it would clear up. It never did. The bulging bubble actually increased in size, pushing the eyeball downward, as you’ll see in the pics. Since 6 lines like to sleep in a snot bubble I positioned his pvc sleeping bed where I could quickly pull it at night to transfer him to a QT for treatment. I have dosed a little higher than suggested API Erythromycin for 7 days now and the eye looks no better. I started the first of 3 doses of Seachem Kanaplex today. He has never had an issue with the eye. Eats frozen and pellets like a pig and still constantly hunts for pods. No other fish have issues. This is my SPS system so the water quality is impeccable.

Please take a look at the pics and give me some advice? I really don’t want him to lose the eye...
