OrionN Green Gigantea

[OrionN]

Thanks guys. I got Acro eating flat worm, and spider eating Acro, in my tank and loss all my Acro. Just as well since the tank really turn into a Anemone tank anyway. I think I will just place a few SPS colonies, but it will stay as a anemone and fish tank. I will need to move by Blue Haddoni back into the tank, and my Green Haddoni/Gigantea hybrid back if I can find a place to fit them into it.

Well my sick Green Gigantea all treated. Last dose of antibiotic was Thursday night. Here he is Sunday afternoon. Right after I took this picture, I took him up to my office and put him into my 65 Gal office tank. Will update him in his final tank this week sometime. Hope he will do fine there and not further problem. Treatment was uneventful, which is exactly how I like it. Cost me about 100 gal of salt water and the medication. Since I use DT water to change the HT, I did not do water change for the DT. I guess since I was going to do 50 gal water change anyway, it really only cost me 50 gal salt water instead of 100 gal.

Sorry to hear about the acro pests. That's disheartening. I lost that fight a couple years ago. Your clam/nem tank is so awesome still. I always look forward to your updates.

Thanks. I never have any pest like that before I I just don't know what to look for. I am now poorer but wiser. That is for sure.

Here is my Second Green Gigantea in his final home Looking good.

I like how it kept so much of it zoox despite treatment. From now on I'm going to try to purchase fully colored gig before getting a bleached one.

Here he is eating a piece of salmon. Not as sticky as I like but have no problem hold on to the salmon and eat it quickly

I tried to not stress him with treatment. Used DT water (thus aged and warmed water) and use lower dose Cipro. I think there is truth in high dose cipro is toxic to Zoox. Very bright light. 20 W LED 14000K flood light on him

Here is my green Gigantea today

Minh, beautiful tanks! Can you please share what you mean by "low dose Cipro"?

I just use the recommended dose at 250 mg per 10 gal. Some people recommended high dose at 500 mg per 10 gal. I don't increase ciprofloxacin to this dose because I think that it may do more harm than good.

Ok, thanks Minh.
I have a blue gig coming Thurs and was planning the same dose you use. Fingers crossed!
