When you get Zoa POX how much Furan-2 do you use in the Dip?

I have heard

1 Capsule per Cup of Water (8oz.)
1 Capsule per Gallon of Water (128oz.)
1 Capsule per 10 Gallons of Water

So which is it?
Or is it something else?

What do you guys do when you get Zoanthid Pox?

I've done the packet per cup and per two cups of tank water. I don't think it matters much, just make sure that you rinse it before returning it to the tank. I also never used freshly made water to do the dip because they're already stressed. I just replaced what I used for the dip with freshly made water in the tank. Good luck!

I have three other questions.

1. Does Furan-2 Loose it's Strength? (I ask because I was hoping to use the Same Dip for All 3 Days to Save Money on Buying more Furan-2 and Making a New Dip Each Day. But if it Loses it's Strength I will make a New Dip Each Day).

2. Should I Shoot the Zoanthids with a Turkey Baster? (I do not know how Stressful this Dip is because I have not used it before. But with Revive I Constantly Shoot them with a Turkey Baster to Knock off any Pests when I get New Zoanthids and have never had any problems. But Revive is considered a Mild Dip).

3. Can you Overdose Furan-2 and Put Too Much in Causing Harm to the Zoanthids? (I am told that you cannot use too much Bayer so I was wondering about Furan-2 as well).

Let me know what you guys think on the above two questions that I have.

What are your experiences?
