If crashing....what do you do?

[Salted]

Just when I thought I was in the clear. Was hitting day 6 of Cipro and seemed things had stabilized. Nope! Came down this morning and several of my torches are BJD. Can't win!!!

Sorry to hear this. Both for you and the community in general as I've lost some nice euphillia to bjd and had my hopes up on cipro being a reliable cure.

Well, I have another 40 heads in the tank of hammers and frogspawn, so fingers crossed.

@Salted @erics210 Can you let me know where you get your cipro?

Hopefully the antibiotic will prevent the spread.

Can I increase dose?

 

[eholceker]

Can I increase dose?

I wouldn't. I would switch to a different antibiotic if it gets worse. Maybe amoxicillin or something in that family.

Would you be doing water changes?

I don't think it makes a difference. Your not carbon dosing are anything right?

Also what's your tank temp?

 

[erics210]

Also what's your tank temp?

No carbon. 78°
Skimmer on, but not removing, just aeration.
Do have my lights on. Was.running lower Intensity, but now back to regular.

You can try taking the tank temp down to like 75 or 76.
