Hello!
I got a big Euphyllia shipment in, and one sadly had brown jelly and died within a day. Sadly I didn’t notice and it was already in my tank and a few other corals got it.

I got 500MG Cipro pills but the formula is making me think I’m doing something wrong…

I got this formula:
Mix a 500MG pill with 50ML water
57 liters x .125 divide 10= 0.7125ML
Do this 3 times total every other day.

This would mean I would only use 2.1ML of the whole 50ML mix? Is this correct? It sounds like it’s not nearly enough and I’m wasting the entire pill…

So for 6 days the 0,7ml?
yup. make sure you store the mixed solution in a dark, tightly closed container. UV/light will degrade the potency/efficiency of the mix. and of course, as cipro is an antibiotic, please make sure to dispose appropriately (as in, once you're done with the mixture place in a transparent container and leave outside or under light for a few days, then spill over some concrete or something away any areas you [or anyone else] frequents.
