@k.tran @ocellaris123 anything else I should do to increase survival rate? It’s like a 40% at this rate…
Up to you, i quoted a thread on the other forum which i think your on as well in a recent gig thread where the person had a gig looking similar to yours and added amox to it and the gig recovered. I can link you the thread if you like. Maybe try some lugols or a different antibiotic altogether if you’re hesitant on amox combo? Unfortunately we dont know enough about what the actual illness is and whether all issues gigs have are bacterial related.

Thanks - will switch to Amoxicillin tomorrow if condition doesn’t improve.
I got plenty of lugols as well but Iodine is caustic to exposed tissues so will melt pretty fast. I should only add lugos if the mouth is closed.
Gigs can turn South as fast as SPS RTN’ing so this hobby can be very humbling and challenging (okay, damn frustrating). I can pretty much grow & propagate many things but the Gig God has not been friendly to me…Perhaps I need to sacrifice some chickens? Souls of dead Presidents haven’t been working…

lol - definitely not for me though. I’ve found carbon dosing to be super effective and low/zero mess vs other forms of nitrate control. Currently doing DIY NoPox but will switch to straight vodka when I’m out - lower concentration and no smell. I’m doing 10mL/day on this tank and my nitrate is under 20ppm! Bioload is around 10 fish and half of them are around 4” big.
