Yes you can treat whole tank using @AquaBiomics thread as basis for treatment protocols and dosing instructions.
I think @fishguy242 is right though. Whole tank treatment is not necessary here on new piece. Id get the piece in a bath asap though. Probably correct that the coral is to far gone. Wouldnt hurt anything to try a bath for a few nights though. If you have cipro on hand.

Have cipro on hand.
I just dipped in furan2 this morning. I’ll start the bath cipro method tomorrow night.

It was recommended from another group to do a furan2 dip. It’s all I had time for before work. It’s currently sitting in the lowest flow lowest light area of the tank.

Should I still try a cipro dip? How long should I wait? This is something I could definitely do. Removing it to qt is possible but I don’t have a light for that set up. Well I have a cheap led light.

It would be easier for me to dip at night. Don’t think I could float it in two gallons but I have a bag large enough enough I could float it in.

So I've tried furan 2 dip and even experimented with most other medications on market just because I had nothing to lose.
I'm sure furan 2 has specific antibiotics in it that help for specific ranges of infections. Not sure what those are. I do know that Cipro has a wider treatment range for bacterial infections.
Would be super beneficial for you to read the thread Steve posted.
And maybe research cipro baths. I use a super low dosage for longer time..
But in research you will find much higher dosages being applied for different corals and different ailments.
I took the more safe than sorry approach but can tell you I haven't had a bad reaction to Cipro. It either works and works well, like almost instantly or it doesn't work at all. And haven't noticed any harmful side effects.

Good Morning and Afternoon @fishguy242 thread
Beautiful day for Reefing!! well in my case fish keeping at the moment but I'm trying

 

[DiefsReef]

I can always mail you some when I scrape it in the next few days lol. Got to do something. I consume 1.8 dkh a day lol.

@Eagle_Steve is some of that coraline up for sale?? I am in great need of a large dose!

Same here. It either works or it doesn’t.

Just to put all in one post.

No need to do whole tank.
QT with cheap light is fine. Cipro degrades under bright light, anyways. Even a Tupperware tub works as a qt.
Agree coral may be to far gone, but it never hurts to try.

when you get home @dyerrm, let me know the route you are taking and I can do the math for how much rodi to mix with the tablet you have and then how many ml of the mix to put into qt or the bag. Euphillia can actually take 50mg per gallon with no issues. Probably no need to start there, but just a reference.

Pm me your address. I can ship you a small slurry at no charge. Great thing about coralline slurry is it doesn’t have to go overnight lol. It would just get trashed otherwise.

Hi Steve can you put some in bottle for me too when your ready with macro? How much of shelve life does it have in bottle?

For you, heck no. Kidding. Yes, of course.

As for shelf life, not sure. Sent some to my friend in Seattle snail mail, and in a week on his 2 week old tank he had purple spots everywhere. All dry rock and cycled with dr Tim’s method. Coraline was added before any outside critters were added, as well. So o can only assume it was the slurry I sent, or at least want to believe that.

For macro, pm me and I will let you know what I have ready.

So should I treat with cipro right after furan2? Or give it 24hrs? How long does it need if I just do the bath thing? I have read the article about qt with cipro. Honestly I’m in an apartment and space is limited. But if you think treating in qt is better I’ll set that up. I can use a piece of rock from my sump for bacteria (I have so much in my sump it won’t hurt to pull a piece than just not put it back in). I can use water from the DT. Need to do a water change anyway.

If the bath is just as good as the qt I’ll go the bath route. But if you think one is better than the other I’ll go the route that’s better.

Bath to check and see how it reacts if fine. If space is limited, a Tupperware container with the lid put on it works great to hold temp. Just put water in the container, put the coral in there, add cipro and then float it for 3 hours away from bright light.

Should I do this tonight? Even though it got furan2 this morning

It won’t hurt a bit. The furan2 is more than likely burnt up by now. It degrades with light as well. Tank lights have been on all day, so between that and the time frame, the hammer has probably expelled any remnants of it.

There is still flesh, so still a tiny chance. Better to try and it fail, then not try at all.

Took the words out of my mouth man. Ive seen this quoted. Not sure where. But was totally stunned when my Minecraft was saved. It was literally full on tissue necrosis, falling apart just handling it before I gave a few baths. Just a cpl weeks later all healed up and today is perfectly healthy. So healthy I'm pretty sure I was able to successfully take a cut from her foot with no recourse
Check it out before cipro bath-

Just yesterday 48 hrs after cut

Little baby foot cut

Excuse the fish, shrooms.
