Gig has gone into treatment. I will document the treatment progress as it goes. Thanks.

I hope all will go well for you. Best of luck. Be meticulous and treat for a min of 7 days dont stop no matter how well it looks after a few days. And dont feed it either

And make sure that you do 100% water changes every night before lights out, and change it more frequently if the water gets cloudy.

Thanks. Can you show me how to upload pics in here just like how you did with the gig? Mine came out to as an attachment and quality sucks. Also I have to click on to the attachment to view the pic.

You'll need to upload your photos to a site like Imgur. From there you use the link the site provides to insert the photos into your post.

When you want to insert a photo in your post, you click on the icon that looks like a mountain and sun (14th icon from the left if I counted correctly). Then, paste the link that the site provides. Make sure that you preview your post before submitting to make sure the link works.

You can "Go Advanced" on the reply option and upload picture there. Max size is 800X800. Once it is uploaded you can use same option as D-Nak outline and attach full image to the post

If you download the tapatalk ap it is easy to upload pics without having to go through all off the other stuff. Reefcentral’s site is incredibly out of date

Updates on green gig purchased from Aquatic Collection.
. Gig arrived around 10 am PST on
. Temperature acclimated to match the temp from QT set up ( 10 gals with PH, heater, and air stone). water was made the night before around 8pm
. 250mg Cipro was added a few mins to the QT prior to transferring the gig.

CoralsAddiction · 04/19/2018, 12:43 PM

Best of luck with treatment

duyhuynh · 04/19/2018, 12:45 PM

Updates on day 1:
. Gig looks happy settling in.
. Moved off the rock to the corner.
. I also moved the PH to get flow pointing directly to the gig.
. Light was turned off around 9pm.
. Siphon some black stringy stuff that gig spit out after 5 mins light was out.

duyhuynh · 04/19/2018, 01:00 PM

Updates on day 2:
. Light was turned on at 7am.
. Gig still look happy although it moved to the corner.
. Water was changed ~99% at 11am. (Water was pre-made the night before with similar temp in the QT)
. 250mg Cipro was added

Pinkskunk · 04/19/2018, 01:02 PM

i think you should put a tank divider in there so that the nem can not move into the powerhead or walk/attach itself on the heater. i have lost nems due to both of these incidents. learn from my mistake.

i have a nice ritteri that was fully treated and ready to move into DT and that is when it moved and attached to the heater, that was the end of it. all of my hardwork went straight to the toilet.

duyhuynh · 04/19/2018, 01:10 PM

Thanks for the advice. I will see what I can do to prevent the gig from moving near either PH or Heater.

D-Nak · 04/19/2018, 01:21 PM

To get optimal results, it's best to do the water change right before lights out. After you do the water change, add Cipro, then turn off the lights. This allows the medication to work in the dark without light breaking it down, losing its effectiveness.

Also, remove the rock. There's no need for any sort of biological filtration since you're doing nightly water changes.

I agree with adding a divider. Put the pump and heater on one side, the nem on the other.

The only advantage of having a rock in QT is when an anemone attaches itself to it and stays put throughout treatment. It’s easier to move it out of QT after treatment bc one doesn’t have to deal with an Anemone attached to aquarium glass.
Clearly the rock doesn’t help in this case bc the nem isn’t attached to it.

duyhuynh · 04/20/2018, 05:42 PM

Updates on day 3:
. Gig look upset this morning
. After water change, it looks better
. Some dead black zoo was split out from gig.

If those photos are in order, I take it as a good sign. I've had gigs ball up before, and I attribute it to trying to expel dead zoox. Sounds like that happened, and then it expanded again. If its got the strength to do that, it means it (hopefully) has enough energy to pull through.

pfan151 · 04/20/2018, 08:21 PM

I haven’t had any luck saving any that balled up like that. I’ve had it happen on 3 occasions and the gig ended up dying each time. I hope your luck is better than mine. Yours does look like it has pretty decent tentacle extension so I think that is a good sign.

duyhuynh · 04/21/2018, 04:02 PM

Updates on day 4:
. Gig look happy and tentacles are longer.
. More black zoo was found and removed from the QT
