My tank is going through a really rough bacterial infection. It started with an octospawn brown jellying seemingly overnight 4 weeks ago. Since then I've lost a splatter hammer, a heliofungia, another frogspawn, my HG torch, my malasian HG torch, and most recently my magic carpet mushrooms. Many $1000's in coral losses. I've also lost single heads of other torch colonies which I had to frag off. Just noticed another dead head on a large torch colony this morning. I've been pulling affected corals and doing KFC dips as best I can. I already did the 0.125 mg/L cipro in tank treatment (3 doses over 6 days) twice. I'm already running and have been running UV and ozone. My SPS are unaffected, my manual testing and ICP tests are spot on so I don't think it's parameter related, definetly bacterial.
I don't want to make a bad situation worse but it's time for more drastic measures or else I'll be left with an SPS only tank. This article recommends 1mg/gallon cipro every other day for 10 days: https://reefbuilders.com/2023/04/10...TC0FGwWLH9lodD8dXlM3XLG0ek2nspQNmokQibicSvefg while the KFC in tank instructions call for 5mg/gallon 3 days in a row plus adding 5mg/gallon amoxicillin and erythromycin. I'm not sure which to try.
