maracyn is the medication name and this is a fish only tank so i can use any meds

if you have live rock you can use melafix, if not you could go for the maracyn, try maracyn 2 bio spheres from mardel, good antibiotic. Good Luck

Check your pH first. Low pH can bring this on. Sometimes a couple of large water changes using well aged/aerated saltwater can do the trick. Otherwise, antibiotic therapy is indicated. Do you have a quarantine tank?

the maracyn antibiotics are gram dependent. so if you tried dosing over a few days with maracyn, you might try maracyn two.
