Yesterday I bought a specimen of S.gigantea from LFS and would like to share with you the Ciprofloxacin treatment progress on her. Sorry for speaking without photo because I failed to upload photo.

I would have to strongly advise against treatment in main tank. Its most likely going to wipe out your bio filtration.
