Did whole tank treatment with Cipro (as in brown jelly treatment); Blocked some of the flow so that it had less flow. Moved it to a low flow, lower light area. Now I'm wondering what next. Any ideas @OrionN or others? Phosphates are high, so I could add some PhosGuard to try and absorb out some more phosphates. Not sure what's next. I have not done a freshwater dip yet, as @OrionN you had said elegance syndrome is more of a slow onset disease.

Thanks!

Oh nooo! From all I read, it says there is no known cure. Could you do a short peroxide dip? I know that's probably not been recommended but it's worth a shot.
 
Battling this rn too. I've heard freshwater dips help? When I had ECS in my store before, we never found a solid treatment. But now that my personal elegance has it I may experiment
