Bro, that is a nice Magnifica.

He's sick, and I can promise you that. 100% sure because H. Magnifica's are mostly all I keep other than S. Gigantea.

He needs to be treated ASAP. Cipro is the best drug for mags.

250mg per 10/G. 7 full days of treatment with 1-2 water changes daily. Change water when it gets cloudy.

Turn ur lights off for the first 24 hrs. Then low for the next 12, and start increasing after that.

I can almost promise you that this one will make it and respond to the antibiotic.

How long has the tank been running? Do you have 5/g or 10/g hospital tank with small powerhead and heater?

Text me if you need advice or for any questions and I can help you save him. I hate when mags die. He's very nice!

Also, while your treating this mag, you need to do a 50% water change or larger in that display and he'll do a lot better when he comes out of the treatment tank. If you get the water cleaner, it will help him stabilize. Trust me.

Overnight this or find some from local vet/ reefer.

You can even get your MD to call it in. If you can get it ASAP, he'll make it.

Thanks a bunch. How do I get cipro?

 

[MikeyAl]

Disregard last response

Is the salinity at 1.035 a typo? If not, that is way to high.

 

[MikeyAl]

Typo. 1.025

 

[Reefahholic]

No problem, good luck!

 

[MikeyAl]

Okay. Update. Mag is in hospital having a cipro treatment. Looking great after 4 days.
Special shout out to REEFAHOLIC for guiding me through and spending countless hours coaching me. If you have questions about your mags he is the go-to guy

Okay. Update: after 8 days in hospital with cipro treatment the little guy went back into the tank. Within an hour got himself to a high point and looks very happy. Thanks again REEFAHHOLIC.
