my gig treatment routine

[tassy]

this is my second gig I received from LA. these are regular size out of the invert section. first one was not treated at all and did the inflate and deflate cycle to death lasted 2 weeks. looked great for the first few days then went downhill. the second one I started treating upon arrival was so excited I dosed it right after acclimation during the day and didn't wait till night.10 gallon.glass aquarium 5 gallons of water 125 milligrams of cipro. changed 3 gallons of water a day, dosed at night.used a little desktop light for the last 2 days cuz it started bleaching. It balled up and went pancake looking within the first 12 hours. never deflated after that.Was kept in at for 5 doses/nights. it's in the DT looking good,very bleached with small patches of the zoo that is very faint. Mouth is tight, holding off on feeding. Any suggestions or comments are welcome any questions about the procedure are also welcome.

hope this helps somebody

Thnx

Ooops. Almost forgot. Maxijet 400 for circulation and a Walmart 50 watt set it and forget it thermometer. That kept the water at 78 degrees.

I treated mine pretty much the same.
Did yours bleach? Mine did but is otherwise doing good after treatment. I have it for a month now and it is slowly recovering some color now.

I use Photobucket. It's free and easy to use. You upload your photos to Photobucket to create a library. Each photo will have a link that can be used when posting photos on threads such as these. You simply copy and paste the link, and then the image appears in your post.

I like the percula. Look like wild ones from the Solomon Island.

For how long do you have them in this anemone?
Mine started loosing their black backs after a few days.

the clown just went into the anemone today. I've had that clown for about 3 or 4 months. I do believe that is a wild caught. the other one is from rods and I've had about 8 years.the female from rods jumped. it was a sad day. anemones only been in the tank for 3 days
