Whats going on with this CSB

[Sandberg]

Hey folks! Im kinda in a rut. Got a chicago sunburst about 5 months ago and its just looking kinda sad. Ive had Rbta’s forever in this aquarium and they’re still thriving. Kinda wondering if its just too low or if maybe they are doing chemical warfare on one another. Anyone have any thoughts? Appreciate it!

CSB is a risk to keep with other nems , sometimes they make it sometimes not. Do you run a lot of carbon?

I was under the impression that Chicagos are usually safer to keep with others than Colorados

Yeah, looks like warfare. I would treat with cipro and move it to a tank without other anemones

Hmmm. What is cipro

Ciproflaxin it’s used to help anemones with bacterial infection , it may help I would isolate the csb, but I’ve broadcasted dosed cirpo before to save gbta and it worked well lol

How is it looking today?

Tank has a gfo/carbon reactor. Recent switch for the tank to a roller filter in lieu of a skimmer. The skimmer will be placed back into action soon with a little bit of sump remodeling. My ORP numbers have recently climbed to alarm status at 459ish. They used to hover more around 400, not real sure that would be a factor? Moved him last night to the other side of the tank a little bit higher. Hence the question about how he's looking today

How much did you broadcast dose and what size tank? I have a 120 full of nems but I notice a few shrinking and looking sick.

I just dosed 250mg in the tank to see, just don't want to have any ill effects.
