Maybe just as well that I did not have a chance at it.
Best of luck m0nkie. Please keep us update.
FWIT, the tentacles are pointed with is c/w Gigantea. The color of the column, then the spots, there cannot be a mistake unless it was a very good Photoshop job.

Its strong on actinic which makes me think it could be more pinkish or possibly bleached a little.

Pinkskunk · 05/15/2018, 09:42 AM

ask for detail how they cipro it. one of my beautiful green gig was cipro by the vendor and it came to me looking gorgeous, but went down hill and no return. if you get it during the cipro duration, continue to do so till you reach 10 days total of treatment. dont stop even if it looks gorgeous.

m0nkie · 05/15/2018, 02:11 PM

here it is guys. Inside 20gal QT. 10gal Cipro water. 2 basic T5 bulbs for lighting. small Maxijet pump with indirect flow.

10 days? I usually do the 7 day Cipro unless more is needed. do you feel 10 is better?

the vendor had the carpet in Cipro last Monday till Yesterday (Tuesday). so technically 1 full week already. I'll restart with the 7 day Cipro. on Monday 21st, I'll observe to see if Cipro is needed.
