SCTLD might have a solution

Chemical and genomic characterization of a potential probiotic treatment for stony coral tissue loss disease - Communications Biology

A multidisciplinary approach identifies broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain McH1-7 against stony coral tissue loss disease, which is threatening Caribbean coral reefs.

Hopefully this strain of bacteria can be cultured easily and commercialized to treat bacterial infections in both the wild and our tanks!

I have a tissue sample out to aquabiomics to confirm if this is what I have been dealing with for the last two years.

I hope it’s not but the symptoms are a match.

This solution probably won’t be available for me before I shut the tank down, but I really hope it works!

What did you think of aquabiomics (if you think this will derail the thread you can dm me your response)?

Holy smokes.. how do you treat that?

I am happy to identify why this particular tank is struggling so much. Sucks… but at least I have an answer. Which is rare in this hobby.

Only through antibiotics or hope corals build a resistance(a stretch).

I have read multiple different dosages. I can tell you that two separate treatments at .125mg/l and .4mg/l 3x over six days each was ineffective. I’ve heard mixed reports of going as high as 1.25mg/l.

I am not sold on doing another dose though but that’s more because I am tired of dealing with it.

I can understand not wanting to contend with it after a couple rounds.
I feel for you though in the frustration.
Hope everything gets better tankwise

If you’re worried about dosing too much, I can tell you that I’ve popped 250mg per 10 gallons in my display tank daily for 7 days without an issue on multiple tanks for beneficial bacteria when dealing with bacterial issues with Euphyllia.
