My anemone has been deflated

[MERKEY]

What should the numbers be
Thank you so much for your guys help

Where you have them is fine.

You normally want to keep your parameters close to what your salt mixes to that you do water changes with weekly.

Weekly water changes in newer tanks usually keep those parameters in check. When you get enough coral and coraline algea growing you will have to start dosing.

Hi, I am not an expert but I also posted a thread about my bubble nem looking almost dead but 2 days later it was fully inflated and has looked great since. I was told they sometimes deflate to get rid of stale water in order to replenish/freshen the water content. Like I said I am not an expert but nems seem to be shape shifters

I will try to relax lol nems stress me out my is looking a tiny bit better now mouth still open

 

[kenziejlooft]

I appreciate all the advice every time I would look up how come it would be deflated everybody would just say Cirpo will help but I don’t want to stress it out with meds I have a gbt doing fine in the tank

Don't need to worry about having nitrate and phosphate in the water. As long as it is stable, salinity and temperature wise, not too high or too low, and not high phosphate and nitrate, the anemone will be fine.
What your anemone need is treatment with antibiotic ASAP. The sooner the better. Everyday this is delay, the chance of success is decrease by a large amount. I recommended that you have equipment and medication prior to getting the anemone. As it is get them ASAP, start treatment, and hope for the best.
Good luck
My Green Gigantea many years ago during treatment.

Here he was post treatment, some years later. I till have him going on 8 years.

[kenziejlooft]

What antibiotics do you recommend

What antibiotics do you recommend

When they are not doing well, they will start to delates in the late afternoon mostly, then this get more and more result in deflating most of the day. Even sick anemone, look well sometime.
You should treat it with Cipro

How long can it stay like this I just ordered the meds because no pet store had them and the vet said it’s a 70$ visit and I can’t do that

The meds should be here by Friday or Saturday will it be okay still then and every time I set up a quarantine tank I wipe it out with freshwater but I always have some sort trace of ammonia will that be okay how do I reduce the ammonia

All of these guys have given me a heart attack. Whenever I add nems they look normal for a day or two them slowly deflate and take in my tank water. Look like hell for a day and shrivel up then acclimate. I am curious what cipro is , when to use it and why. I’m always down to learn new stuff. I’ve never used it before.
