Where do you get cirpo tablets from?
I was wondering the same. I know some countries you can get antibiotics over the counter, but in USA you need a prescription. So maybe from a vet?

Also would like to know thisI was wondering the same. I know some countries you can get antibiotics over the counter, but in USA you need a prescription. So maybe from a vet?
No, I rarely use chemicals in my tank. Makes for a more natural ecosystem.1. Are you using Amoxicillin or other antibiotics to treat corals or other livestock?
Last time I ordered fish meds, including cipro, it was without a prescription. For dogs and cats they do require a vet to sign off. Chewy.com, Allivet and Petsupplies4less.com are a few that offer it. I can’t remember for sure but I think I ordered it from Chewy...it was last year.It’s expensive though. I paid over $35 for the bottle!I was wondering the same. I know some countries you can get antibiotics over the counter, but in USA you need a prescription. So maybe from a vet?
I haven't used any in a few years, but did use some antibiotics to treat secondary infections from Marine Velvet Outbreak a few years back.Recently @Randy Holmes-Farley shared a thread here about using Amoxicillin to treat wild coral disease and it got me thinking about how many of us are actually using antibiotics in our reef tanks. I have included the articles referenced by Randy as well as a couple of more discussions and articles here from R2R for you to look at. I would like to use the QOTD today to get your opinions and information about it!

2. What have you used and what were the results?

I did the same to successfully stop a BJD infection on an orange wall hammer. I did not dose the DT though, I moved the hammer to a hospital tank for a week. I did dose chemiclean in the DT though as I was losing some mushrooms and had some cyano problems in the attached frag tank. Seemed to help stop the loss of the shroom colony that was dying. I only did a half dose too.I recently used Cipro to treat Brown Jelly in my DT.

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
Are you sure? The box specifically says that it is not erythromycin.I've used Chemiclean on one of my tanks for Cyano. If you don't know, Chemiclean is erythromycin.
I got my cipro, amoxicillin and erythromycin from chewy without a prescription.Last time I ordered fish meds, including cipro, it was without a prescription.

Chewy has fish gradeI was wondering the same. I know some countries you can get antibiotics over the counter, but in USA you need a prescription. So maybe from a vet?
ok so your saying if i had brown jelly disease hypothetically/ i could use Chemiclean as a treatment?I've used Chemiclean on one of my tanks for Cyano. If you don't know, Chemiclean is erythromycin.
I asked Jay Hemdal about therapeutic dosing levels of Chemiclean for non-prescribed purposes, and he said (in essence) that this hasn't been studied or is generally not recommended. You're on your own if you want to try this one out.ok so your saying if i had brown jelly disease hypothetically/ i could use Chemiclean as a treatment?
It says it does not contain erythromycin succinate -- but does notably not exclude other forms of erythromycin. And I don't even know if that's true or misdirection for regulators -- there's at least one thread around where a member contacted the manufacturers, and apparently they did confirm that the product did, indeed, contain erythromycin (of whatever form).I did the same to successfully stop a BJD infection on an orange wall hammer.

Yeah I'm not a chemist and I briefly googled it but I wasn't sure if succinate was a specific type of erythromycin. So "erythromycin succinate" and "erythromycin" are different?It does not contain erythromycin succinate.

Currently doing this as well. So far I have been dosing one 500 mg dissolved tablet version 50 gallons in my frag system daily for 8 days. started losing hammer heads here and there despite dipping and removing bad heads. Once it started hitting torches, I pulled the trigger on treatment.
I’m planning on a 14 day treatment for brown jelly as well as some anemones closing up. Tank has literally every kind of coral except NPS and no I’ll effects this far.
every reefer that keeps euphyllias
should always have cipro/ab’s on hand…
It's an answer known only to the manufacturers of Chemiclean. There are enough people here who have been curious enough about it to have undertaken their own investigations and the general consensus is that it does, in fact, have some type of erythromycin.Yeah I'm not a chemist and I briefly googled it but I wasn't sure if succinate was a specific type of erythromycin. So "erythromycin succinate" and "erythromycin" are different?
chewyWhere do you get the tablets?
