100 positive? How are you telling this Curious?!
I made the decision to jump to the DT, I have not yet bleached out the qt from the last anemone. Risk of bacterial reinfection had me worried. Good news is this. The anemone in the DT has already planted its foot deep in the sand and had attached to the bottom of the tank.
The health of this specimen right out of the gate is 100% better. I’ve never felt an anemone as sticky as this guy. I spent 5+ minutes trying to get him to release off my finger!
He also has accepted food right away.
Good to hear it's buried it's foot. That's typically a haddoni thing, but there are exceptions. Looks healthy. That guy looks like he should do just fine. Nice anemone.
Here's a picture of a neglected gig tank. On the right side are 2 purple, one blue, one green all mobbed together, blue in the middle, blue and green on the far left. All got cipro, but years ago. I stop in once every other day and get maybe 15 minutes to get it "topped off". Last test on anything was November. All guess work, but I've had the tank up for years. My levels are off I just don't know how bad yet... Bad enough to kill coral though. Lost all my coral, but the gigs are happy, closed mouths and long tents. No food for nems other than fish poo. It's amazing they do so well even while coral dies, the refuge over growth is pretty bad and the skimmer is adjusted to "chunky" lol (super dry so I empty it once a week).
Agreed! Thank you it’s my pride and joy! Love the color of the carpet!Beautiful tank...generally if you get a nem from somebody who has had it for a length of time, Cipro shouldn't be needed. In my opinion, the infections are only rampant in newer collected/shipped nems.

Taylort....do you still have your Merten's? Would love to see an updated picture of that tank.Good to hear it's buried it's foot. That's typically a haddoni thing, but there are exceptions. Looks healthy. That guy looks like he should do just fine. Nice anemone.

No, a fellow reefer has it. Maybe a year ago.Taylort....do you still have your Merten's? Would love to see an updated picture of that tank.

I'm a firm believer that cipra saved my nem, no doubt about it. My massive long term captive mag began pancake deflating every night after i tried to introduce another from my lfs. Later learned this is a big no if you have a thriving mag...oops. Cipra brought it back to full glory so fast it was amazing. Literally the first day it was looking so much better i couldn't believe it. I had tried waiting it out hoping to not have to treat, by upping my water quality etc.. nothing was working and treatment became inevitable as it was clearly going to die without it. Included is a timeline of before getting sick, after becoming sick, deflated with sad clowns wondering what's up, while in treatment and then after...id say cipra worked for me!
