And 250mg or 500 mg?
I think the article was done with 500 but you could use 250 and adjust the water or use 2 instead of 1.
I would suggest reading the article and comments

from the article for dosing in the aquarium vs dipping
“I used Ciprofloxacin at 0.125 mg / L. To achieve this I dissolved a 500 mg pill in 50 ml of RODI water, producing a 10 mg / ml solution (which I subsequently stored in the fridge). The aquarium system has 70 gal volume altogether (~265 L), so I added 3.3 ml of this solution to achieve 0.125 mg / L. I repeated this dose every 2 days for 3 doses altogether.”https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/exper...iotic-treatments-for-brown-jelly-disease.791/

Get that hammer coral out ASAP. Don't let any of the brown slime fall off into the tank. You can try to save it, but BJD is a pretty fast and harsh killer. I wound up just removing the hammer and letting it die instead of risking all my other corals in an attempt to save the one.
Your other corals may be infected. I'd dip every other coral, because that stuff spreads fast!
