Mag Rescue round two.

[bjledbetter]

So once again lfs calls and says mag come in looking dead. I said I'd come take a look at it and see if it was still alive. I got there and the poor thing was in water that might have been 50. And it looked like crap. The business that it was ordered for said to try again so this one was gave to me again to try and save.
Here it is in the bag

Got it home and slowly temp and salinity acclimated it to my tt.

This is what it looked like a little while ago after a ciipro treatment and lights out for 8 hours.

Pic of the treatment tank.

And yes I know sand should not be in there but i didnt want to take it out as this tank serves other purposes as well at times. Hopeing it attaches to that flat piece of lr so it will be easier to transfer to my main dt here in a week or so. I'll add egg crate tomorrow when I can go get some but i think its fine for tonight. I think this one might stand a chance to make it. Here's to a speedy recovery:tea: Any thoughts on things that need to be done or other comments are welcome

Wow what a turn around

 

[bjledbetter]

Its far from out of the woods. its spewing some kind of white stuff out of the mouth and its clouding the thank up and when I turned the lights on it started to deflate again. I'm second guessing if its going to still be alive in the morning . i just did a water change and added more cipro. we will see what its like in the morning.

Good luck with that thing!

Well woke up this morning to a very deflated sad looking thing and a tank that looked like it contained milk instead of water. Did another water change and will add more cipro this evening if its still around. I'm home today so i can do water changes as its needed to help keep the water clear but i'm losing hope on this one too

What is ciipro? If it is a coral treatment I would hold off using that until it is healthy.

Most meds will hurt the nem, not help it. Do a big water change and let it be. What is this ciipro you are dosing?

 

[bjledbetter]

ciprofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibotic that treats any bacteria that the nem has from shipping and stress. I used it on my other mag that i got back in december and it is now doing great. There are several threads about its use online on different site and Mihn on here has developed a great treatment plan using it. that thread is located over at RC

I got to thinking OrionN knows more about these things than I ever will so I decided to take his advice and add more flow. Here is a video of the nem and the tank setup. I have moved the powerhead so that its not beating the nem up so bad. Just click the pic and it will take you to the video on my photobucket
