Maggie's Mixed Reef Build V3, now a 75!

Seriously, they'll be fine. I ran 3 doses in my display. 500mg per 20g. Dosed at lights off, removed skimmer collection cup, sump light off.

If you have a pill cutter, you can cut the pills easy into 4 pieces and use 3 pieces per treatment. But, 500mg is still safe.

I did not witness any ill effects on my inverts, crabs, bivalves, starfish and snails remained very alive. Fish were unphased. Even my baby snails are living.
When to water change?
 
When to water change?
I have been told it's not needed. Carbon works. But, 20 to 50% should be significant, daily. You're not dealing with an extremely sick anemone.

Carbon should filter out pollutants during day time, shouldn't need to go heavy on that.

I really didn't do a water change in my display. But, that's 112g.
 
Water will be cloudy when meds are added.
So, dose cipro at night.
Use some carbon during the day
Remove carbon and throw away
Redose cipro.
Chech nutrient levels if you like, change water if nutrients are elevated.
If not, just use the carbon during day.

I have a question, so you said dose at lights off, should I keep lights off the whole time or have the normal light schedule?

Normal light schedule. They need to be able to continue photosynthesis.
 
So 3rd night was last night for Cipro, going to do a deep clean on this tank today since it's covered in a thick soft fluffy type algea/Bacteria? Going to transfer the bta to my Evo, even though I don't have the noop mini installed yet. I've just been so busy between helping my hubs get caught up with work and traveling for various things to buy/sell I haven't had much time for tank things.


I've been waiting to add the noop mini to the Evo once I paint the dresser I bought, it's too low and accessable for my 3yo to risk telling the lid off.

Also going to transfer much of the frags to display so I can start deciding where to mount them.

Working on bringing the big noops to the tank, having internet trouble, provider didn't want to replace the router since it technically is still "working", so I bought my own and waiting on it to be delivered.

Also trying to decide which @Aquarocks rack to add, thinking about the 12 hole frag rock branch, and the 3pk of singles. Should be ordering today.

So yes, I should get off the couch. I have things to do.

How do the gonis look? Have you seen them inflate/deflate? Are the flowers more exposed now?
 
The Riptide one, which is the newest, is peeping out more than before treatment.

The 2 asd ones still have flesh but not open at all.

Asd one, other looks the same but not pictured.

At this point, all we can do is hope.
That one looks really rough. if the others look the same...

Anyhow have you tested magnesium?
