If you can, turn down the blue LEDs when you take photos or video. It'll come out a lot better!
Glad to hear the nem continues to do well.

Soo....I had been wondering why my zooanthids were closed up and looking rough. I was messing with apex fusion about a week ago and found out they have the wizard up for my LEDs now. Didn't realize that all of my programming went out the window when I switched to the wizard. Lights have been running at full blast for about 6 hours a day! Got in there and changed that so now the lights are down to 55%. I new the color looked great, but didn't know why! lol I hate the 20k look. When the Onyx fixtures run a 100%, its a good 14000 kelvin look. Love it! But gonna take some time to get there lol.

I got the cup on a 45 degree angle. Nem extended up more and looks fantastic! Big thanx to worm! Big Big thanx to Minh for the amount of excellent information. Things like this would not be possible without it! The protocol for med thread is a MUST READ for any new owner of one of the harder to keep species or any nem for that matter.
I hope I am not jumping the gun, but I think this can now be filed under success!
Observation: It is said to never treat a healthy nem. We need some kind of determination to avoid this. Once my nem cleared the dead zoo, it seemed to be extremely aggravated by the addition of cipro. Once the cipro stopped and the biofilter put back the nem stopped the mini mag thing about balling up. It did this shortly after intro to the new tank, but opened a little bit after and hasn't looked back. Been in the tank for over 24 hours now and no deflations, no aggravations, and no balling up since introduction.
I agree with D-Nak about the small nems ability to ball up like that from being grumpy about something. Would love to have some more feed back on the subject of the nem balling up like a mag. I will continue to update this thread constantly.
By the way my MAG I wanted is in the DD on LA now! Funny how things work out....although I may have to pull the trigger being my HT is empty.....

Just checked its still there, Inverts. 149.99. Beautiful mag! Somebody jump on it! I cant. I want to pick up an sps pack from another member but the temps are below zero here for next week.
Frog, are suggesting that once the zoo was expelled, you wish you did not keep dosing Cipro? My Mag has looked miserable all day, every day, it's been in the HT with Cipro in the water. Today is the end of Day 3 of the Cipro treatment, and I'm worried 7 days will be too much. There are pics in my "ZB's H Mag" thread.

Typically I'm okay with LA DD prices. But in this case I immediately thought it was too expensive. I also think that's why it is still for sale (as of 5:55 PST). I purchased one that looked exactly like it for $40 and it was splitting (in QT):

I think Cipro not only kills the harmful bacteria, but helps the nem to expel the dead zoox, which is a good thing. I also think too much Cipro can cause a nem to bleach, but this is also okay because the zoox population can come back from literally nothing.
If the nem does not respond to Cipro or Septra within a day or two, then I think it will die. There's a very small window for treatment after the nem deflates. If it can't reinflate, it can't take in the Cipro. No med intake = dead nem.
If treatment is to work, like in humans, it needs to be administered for at least 5 days or the bacteria won't be completely eliminated. Again, IME, if the nem remains deflated by day 3, there is a very high likelihood that it won't make it.

I do not condone anyone stop treatment per orionN and d naks advice. Was only an observation of my own.
