I have a question about dosing Cipro

[StartingATank]

So I have been researching but I just want to fact check this with r2r. So I do have BJD in my tank, hoping to eliminate it. I would just do Coral dips, but the problem is that it if infecting my kenya trees, but before this, is propagated itself so I have lots of Kenya trees just in crevices of the rock so I cant get it out too well to dip them, so I was hoping for a full tank dosage. My lfs told me there was this product that they usually have, they were sold out, for BJD and it was a full tank dosage, so I went ahead and started researching. I found Cipro, and it seems to get the problem solved. But I am unsure as to how to dose it, and if I even should. My plan is to remove my carbon and turn of protien skimmer, and then dose it as lights turn off. I would do this for 7-10 days, and after the last day do a 25%ish water change. I am also completely baffled by the dosing instructions and how even to do so, so could you explain it to me? Also, are there anything that it could kill that I have in my tank, like, for example, copepods, fish, corals, feather dusters, brittlestars, any invert. Also, my final question, is would it kill bacterial algaes, like cyano?

Old skool. iodine or peroxide bath. You need to treat in a different system. You cannot treat in your display. This needs to be done in a separate system ie quarantine

As above, There are no shortcuts, ie algae, cyano. There are no fancy labled bottles (snake oils) that will make things easier. You deal with one issue at a time and don't expect a daily fix. Patience, correct things and have patience. Ciprofloxacin needs to be used in quarantine

Yes skimmer off and remove carbon. I’ve done in tank treatment of cipro over the years.
