What’s the calculation for dosing ciproFor your tank half a 500mg pill dissolved 3x over 6 day period.
How did it work for you ? Did STN come backYou can take the whole tablet and crush it up and mix it with 50ml of RODI. From there you can dose a little bit of it daily for 10-14 days.
From Aquabiomics - I used Ciprofloxacin at 0.125 mg / L. To achieve this I dissolved a 500 mg pill in 50 ml of RODI water, producing a 10 mg / ml solution (which I subsequently stored in the fridge). The aquarium system has 70 gal volume altogether (~265 L), so I added 3.3 ml of this solution to achieve 0.125 mg / L. I repeated this dose every 2 days for 3 doses altogether.
So with your system at 120 gallons you would need around 57mg for a total of 5.7ml dosed daily. I went scorched earth on my tank and dosed 250mg every day. However, you could play it safe and just mix up a 50ml solution and dose 5.7ml of it daily.
Dose it at night when the lights are off and turn your skimmer off at night. Turn your skimmer back on in the morning. Dose it for 10-14 days. If you have a bad pathogen/bacteria then you should see things turn around within a month or so.
**Edit - You can start with the 3 day dose and see how it goes. I did 14 days because I had nothing else to lose at that point. The point is, I went scorched earth and dosed for 14 days. Within days my pH shot up drastically and color came back to all pieces within weeks.
mine hasn't shown any signs of dying off. no need to remove.What about for refugiums , does Chaeto need to be taken out ?
Not sure but I went off others previous dosing with success so I matched my dose to theirs.What’s the calculation for dosing cipro
And you dosed cipro ?mine hasn't shown any signs of dying off. no need to remove.
correct. been dosing daily for 5daysAnd you dosed cipro ?
How many days are you dosing for. I see 6 and I see 10 , I see every other and dailycorrect. been dosing daily for 5days
was only dosing for 5 days. so i’m observing things at this point.How many days are you dosing for. I see 6 and I see 10 , I see every other and daily
Thanks for updatewas only dosing for 5 days. so i’m observing things at this point.
backstory;
have an OG bounce presumably get a bacterial infection. went from being nickel sized to a dime size, to even smaller(size of a pencil eraser). lost color and bubbles and was looking translucent. even let go of the plug and floated around a bit before i was able to find it and was handled roughly(even with the flow off it kept floating away so i inadvertently pinched it a few time before catching it.. anyways i tried iodine dips before i went to cipro because i didn’t want to use cipro but because of the type of coral it was…(expensive) i decided to dose cipro in the tank(figured it could help with a few corals with STN(from my CSBTA roaming prior to this). within two days the OG attached itself to a piece of rubble and stopped shrinking. days 3 & 4 some color came back(it’s still in low light/flow area), but hasn’t gotten bubbles yet. day 5 same thing. on monday, i plan on bringing it out to the sand bed for more light (it’s actually in a cave structure currently because it was the only spot with little to no flow…) really hoping it turns around and doesn’t melt away like it originally was
14 days?!You can take the whole tablet and crush it up and mix it with 50ml of RODI. From there you can dose a little bit of it daily for 10-14 days.

How was your resultsI am on my first dose now I don’t see any improvement nor negative side affect, yet. I am dosing 10ml at night and plan on do that for 5 consecutive days for my 120g and 40g sump then do a 30% water change.
the OG hasn’t melted, but it also hasn’t gotten better or worse from where it’s currently at. i stopped dosing cipro for 2-3 days and started again on monday.How things going?
What is amoxicillin not cipro for ?You need amoxacillin not cipro....Also look for philosters dip with kcl to find when amoxacillin is added you will see healing/irritation. That is where they are.
