Gig whispers! shall I pro-actively treat this gig?

Looks nice. I have a 2x2 ft white eggcrate you can have for free.

thanks! I have egg crates already cut out. I haven't had anemone walk in QT so I didn't put it in. I will do that tonight.

It's more of an insurance against Murphy's Law...

look like your Gigantea is really doing well, and he is a nice one too. Best of luck with him.

 

[OrionN]

So how is he doing?

 

[m0nkie]

very well! mouth closed. never deflated. 3rd day of Cipro. 50% water changes. equipment cleaned every time.

i'll stick through all 7 days of Cipro and put him in a larger 20gal before leaving.

 

[OrionN]

Current recommendation as per the sticky note is to change100% of the water daily. When I first start to treatment, I change 50% but as I gain experience, 100% water change give better result

 

[m0nkie]

here it is! it did lose some color, more yellow now.. but mouth fully closed

the foot sometimes form these stringy brownish things.. I try to suck them out with a turkey baster as much as I can...

currently I'm doing 100% WC. 5th day into treatment. I lift the whole anemone out of the tank into a full 5gal bucket, clean tank and lift it back. not sure if this exposure time is bad, but I don't see any other way to do 100% WC.

 

[m0nkie]

so after the trip, the gig is still doing very well. water is very clean. mouth tightly closed.

I think I'll move it into the DT

 

[Giovanni]

Nice! I have been wanting to try one my self.

 

[OrionN]

Really looking good. I am glad he seem to do well for you.
