Updates on green gig purchased from Aquatic Collection.
. Gig arrived around 10 am PST on
. Temperature acclimated to match the temp from QT set up ( 10 gals with PH, heater, and air stone). water was made the night before around 8pm
. 250mg Cipro was added a few mins to the QT prior to transferring the gig.

i think you should put a tank divider in there so that the nem can not move into the powerhead or walk/attach itself on the heater. i have lost nems due to both of these incidents. learn from my mistake.
i have a nice ritteri that was fully treated and ready to move into DT and that is when it moved and attached to the heater, that was the end of it. all of my hardwork went straight to the toilet.

To get optimal results, it's best to do the water change right before lights out. After you do the water change, add Cipro, then turn off the lights. This allows the medication to work in the dark without light breaking it down, losing its effectiveness.
Also, remove the rock. There's no need for any sort of biological filtration since you're doing nightly water changes.
I agree with adding a divider. Put the pump and heater on one side, the nem on the other.

The only advantage of having a rock in QT is when an anemone attaches itself to it and stays put throughout treatment. It's easier to move it out of QT after treatment bc one doesn't have to deal with an Anemone attached to aquarium glass.
Clearly the rock doesn't help in this case bc the nem isn't attached to it.

If those photos are in order, I take it as a good sign. I've had gigs ball up before, and I attribute it to trying to expel dead zoox. Sounds like that happened, and then it expanded again. If its got the strength to do that, it means it (hopefully) has enough energy to pull through.

I was kidding. Lol
But the real reason we usually recommend not having live rock is because we're not sure what the antibiotics do to the bacteria on the rock. If it kills it, then it's adding pollutants to the tank.

Updates on day 5 and 6
. Gig wasn't happy on day 5 until I change the water.
. On day 6, gig looked very bad in the morning with mouth wide open and tentacle retracted. By now I think the med has impacted the health of it, so
I decided to change the water early without med.
. Currently it looks much better after water change. I intend to keep it going without administering Cipro. If the condition is the same or better until the end of the week, I will transfer it into the DT.
