So I dosed Spectrogram according to the directions, but I missed the part where it says "double dose for marine use." Doh... So I've been dosing half as much as reccomended. My question is, do I just start over like nothing has happened? I did my second dose of "half" marine dose yesterday. So Monday night I am set to do the third and final dose for the first round, but I'm not sure if I should start over or do the final dose at the recommended "double" rate which is 3 rounds every other day. I was doing a water change and running carbon for a few hours before redosing with Nitrofurazone/Kanamyacin/Metrodozanole, as I'm feeding heavily and skimmer is turned off. Ammonia badge says the water is fine, but I know nitrates have to be rising.

The yellow tang is still not eating with copper at 1.75, and I was hoping to see some improvement with the antibiotics, and he does look somewhat better, but the bluethroat trigger has a bit of cloudy eye now. Everyone else appears to be ok, but that's why we read the instructions! RTFM!

Thanks!
 
Sub therapeutic antibiotic therapy can lead to bacterial resistance. I would immediately dose the correct amount and run it for the appropriate time frame. Start over or if there’s already antibiotics in the water column, bring them up to the correct therapeutic level.

Best of luck!
