I was in my LFS on 6/21/13 saw a Mag that looked sick and bleached. Talked to the owner picked it up for next to nothing. Brought him home and set him up in my Hospital tank. He was doing the Inflate deflate cycle of death.
The hospital tank is set up like OrionN's tank. PH and Heater are blocked off by egg create. I also have a small HOB filter running for some added flow along with a pack of purgien.
6/21/13 Here he is after acclimation I could only run the air stones for circulation as he was very weak and didn't have a strong grip
6/25/13 Began treating 250mg Ciprofloxacin on 6/23/13 50% water change and 250 mg every night.
Still been doing the Inflate deflate cycle of death, but its less and less. Mag still has been pooping out black chunks.
6/29/13 Mag has been looking a lot better hasn't been doing the Inflate deflate cycle of death very much but is still pooping tiny tiny bits of black.
Hard to see in the pictures but Mag is starting to get a brown gold color on the tips and some of his tentacles.
7/1/13 I felt the Par 38 LED lighting wasn't strong enough for him anymore so I switched out the light to Metal halide. Seems to be absolutely loving it. Mag no longer is popping anything black and for the most part is staying totally inflated. A few tentacles here and there but not totally.
I really hope the Mag pulls through seems to be getting his color back. Hopefully this week he will eat some food. Time can only tell I will keep this post updated.
