the product he's refering to is called macryn and it works very good, but all it is, is minocyclin and if you have the tablets or gelcaps just disolve them and follow the package for the macryn, it should clear up in about 3-5 days and u'll be fine. don't worry about it as long as u treat it quickly and once a day.

THANKS FOR THE INFO.....
HE IS IN A 125GAL FISH ONLY WITH LIVE SAND, CRABS/SNAILS....
IS THIS MEDICATION SAFE FOR THE L/S,CRABS/SNAILS AND ALL
THE OTHER FISH IN THERE...
ALSO, IS IT CALLED MARACYN OR MACRYN ?
DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO REMOVE THE MED AFTER TREATMENT IS OVER ? OR IS IT SAFE TO LEAVE IN THERE....
ALSO, I HAVE MARDEL COPPER SAFE IN THERE NOW...IS THAT OK?
I DONT HAVE A QUARANTINE TANK...BUT THINKING I SHOULD
START ONE UP....
ALSO...LILBUDDY...SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR ANGEL....
ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO I LOST A LG.POWDER BLUE TANG AND
A GRAY ANGEL....
REGARDS...

No medications are safe for invertabrates, corals, LS, LR, etc.. The copper in the water is NOT SAFE!!! I H A T E it for you that you added the copper in the 125!! Maybe your post was a typo? :rolleyes: Anyways, you can still keep all of the non-fish residents in the tank(until they die.) I wouldn't add anymore invertabrates in that tank ever again. Copper is VERY hard to get rid of.... :(

I have recently had the same problem with my new Coral Beauty who is currently in my quarantine tank - I posted the same question on the disease forum and Beth told me to use Maracyn Two for five days with a double dose (in quarantine) do a large water change after each dose with main tank water. Miss Mango seems to be feeling better!!!!:D

no u only do a water change after the last day, so day 6 you do a water change and it'll be fine. But actually antibiotics are safe for inverts but copper will kill inverts. Also, copper doesn't treat bacterial infections. u need antibiotics

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES...
KEV AND SILKKS.....
MAYBE I DIDNT ELABORATE ENOUGH ON THE COPPER IN THE TANK....I PUT THE COPPER IN THE 125 GAL. TANK ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE I HAD A REAL BAD CASE OF ICK THAT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE TANK BY A LARGE GRAY ANGEL AND MY LARGE POWDER BLUE TANG THEN GOT IT AND I HAD TO DO SOMETHING...
IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY A FRIEND THAT I DO A HYPOSALINITY AND USE MARDEL"COPPER SAFE"...CHELATED COPPER....IT DID ...BETWEEN THE COPPER AND HYPOSALINITY...SAVE THE REST OF THE FISH IN THE TANK AND REALLY CLEANED THEM UP VERY WELL....EVERYONE IS FINE IN THERE NOW....WITH THIS QUEEN ANGEL... THIS PROBLEM WITH HIS EYE JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND STARTING TO WORSEN TODAY...
APPARENTLY...SOME PEOPLE MAINTAIN A LOW COPPER LEVEL IN THEIR MAIN TANKS...FISH ONLY ... AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AGAINST MOST DISEASES THAT ARE BROUGHT IN BY A NEW FISH...
IS THIS ACCEPTABLE OR NOT? AND WHY?
BECAUSE I WAS CONSIDERING DOING THIS ALSO UNTIL WE ARE FINISHED ADDING ALL THE FISH TO THE TANK....
ALSO, I HAVE MAYBE 50-75 CRABS IN THE TANK AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BE ALIVE STILL...HAVENT COUNTED THEM BUT THERE IS STILL ALOT OF SHELLS MOVING AROUND
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO......AND YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER....
