I have a question about dosing Cipro

[reefmaster70]

So I want to check my math on this, so if I am aiming for 16 mg, and I have 750 mg total in 75 ml of water, that would be (16/750)x75 to find out how many ml I need to add? I got 1.6 with this, is this correct?

Ok...this really isn't that difficult. I'll try and explain again as clear as I can.

Take ONE (500mg) cipro tablet. Crush it into a fine powder. Add 50ml or RO/DI water to that and mix until well dissolved. THIS IS YOUR CIPRO SOLUTION.

To find the correct dosage for your tank. (33 gallons= 125 liters.)
so: 125L x .125 = 15.6ml (round up to 16ml)

So 16ml is your DOSE per treatment.

Day one: 16ml dose at lights out and the next 16ml dose at lights up.
Day two: repeat
Day three: repeat.
day 4 repeat
day 5 repeat
day 6 repeat
day 7 repeat. (if things looking good, you can stop)

Oh sorry I read mg instead of ml earlier, sorry. I am adding the first dose rn. Thank you

Just curious, because I saw another person say that they do the exact same formula, but divide it by ten. Here is the link to the thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/in-tank-cipro-dosing.888786/

I am gonna go through the 16 ml though, as it seems like there are so many different ways of dosing this

Don’t divide by 10. That’s not enough.
Follow the schedule that reefmaster70 provided and you’ll be fine.

Ok thank you

I’ve tried to save a whole tank doing cipro and yes sometimes it works and sometimes brown jelly comes back!
At this point have to instantly dip any effected coral.

I would do dips but the problem is is that most of the corals that have it are Kenya trees, and those are stuck to the rock so I can’t get the off

Ok so corals seem to be doing better, now to be fair, it may just be me thinking they look better. But, the only corals that showed BJD were Kenya trees, and I was mostly worried about my hammers and meat corals on the sandbed
