I’ve saved thousands of dollars with the use of Cipro. It works very well and a lot of vendors are using it more and more when they get big shipments of Corals in. Before I do a Cipro treatment I dip the coral in 3% hydrogen peroxide I use 40 mm of hydrogen peroxide in about a half a gallon of tank water for 10 minutes before I put it in the Cipro dip and then another hydrogen peroxide dip after the Cipro treatment. If I could save a $1000 torch using Cipro I’m going to use it. Don’t listen to the anti-Cipro people. Save your Corals if you can.

KFC dip is the best, and if you have any questions, you can always reach out to Danny from Kung Fu and he would be happy to walk you through the process
Reefing 22 years never used it, because I don’t need shortcuts to effort or thinking
thousands of jobs worked, tanks saved in threads here and nano reef .com and reefcentral private messages and posted work threads
rip clean thread is eight years old, 250+ jobs, not one crash not one brown jelly disease not one dead anemone. It’s a reef exercise thread is why
readers: it’s possible to never need it in reefing and anemone keeping, it’s merely a temporary shortcut many will seize, because they can.
generations of corals and anemones are being weakened by its constant use but it’ll take a while for the resistant diseases to show up. A concealed consequence is coming: planning and skill works, not taking shortcuts produces better animals for the hobby
all the corals and anemones we trade in are from asexual reproduction which confers zero natural selection adaptation into the F100+ generations we buy and trade
every use of cipro makes the organisms weaker to species that capitalize on them, the bacteria and other competitions are still naturally selecting for cipro resistance with each new generation of malady
a tipping point arrives one day, total losses for reefers who never adapted to reef without it
do we take cipro for every undiagnosed headache, sniffle nose, temperature of 100 degrees for humans? Take it free will, ad libitum? Or do we exercise, eat right, fight diseases from within by strength, allow the body to fight its own insults while taking a little longer sometimes but gaining that T cell memory
real doctors, not web pill mills and friends, save its use for specific risk events where targets have been isolated and carefully matched to cipro
why does human medicine work so carefully with it, why doesn’t wal greens pharmacy just dole it out to any nineteen year old upon request? Thinkers questions…
it was possible to reef with thousands of dollars in corals and not use cipro, my friends do this all day long for decades.
my toe feels weird, I think I’ll go see what partial course of amoxicillin we have left and guess at a few swigs to see what happens, will report back.
if a given coral or anemone malady was best handled by antibiotics vs effort or tank design changes by the reefer, cipro guessing might not be the best match for complete target kill, to allow no invasion cells to live on and develop immunity in future generations via the incomplete kill.
if there was a reef lab actually matching mailed in target samples to the spectrum of antibiotics available in veterinary use and assigning completed courses, consulted only after 6 months of reef exercise, prescribing matched antibiotics to the target, that would count as effort and run contrary to any cipro thread made in a reef forum

Official Sand Rinse and Tank Transfer thread
If you are reading this thread to cure a tank invasion from a link I sent you, we do not need to identify your type of invasion here we do not need you to test anything at anytime regarding nitrate, phosphate etc Above all, we do not need to see a microscope slide picture of your invasion at...

that’s a reef exercise thread, see how long it’s been running without one single bjd event? We caused that by action not by purchase
cipro tanks are reefs that sit on the couch binging stranger things on repeat, eating 250 bags of lays potato chips, of course they need short term antibiotics to stay alive. Two completely different modes of thinking can be tracked now, we have the threads to watch
Which method will keep anemones and corals alive better:
Keeping the system free of stored up waste with busy export, while feeding exceptional diverse reef feeds that are frozen or live or refrigerated
Or adding crushed up cipro pills. We're on page fifty of results

Hi Brandon, do you have any pictures of your tanks? I would like to see your setups. Thanks!Official Sand Rinse and Tank Transfer thread

My schnauzer is prone to staph. Ciprofloxacin is a hammer. Rare occasions though and only so that the staph doesn't develop immunity. You have to complete a full cycle and absolutely kill all of the infection for that reason. Anything that lives is likely to develop immunity.
@wisnia99 a fresh update
*this bowl will never see cipro that's a promise. It'll never need to
By keeping it ripped clean, low on organics and waste, bad bacteria can't take over. Sedentary, left in place for years reefs need cipro
Active ones don't, that's my hidden claim.
This design has no biological life span limit it can live a hundred years is the bet but you'll have to verify with my grandchildren one day
