Im pretty sure thats what I have it.
I see white spots I already lost a few... and it keeps spreading slowly.
My question is:
I have Furan 2 in a container.( a friend gave it to me couple years ago) I dont have the packages.
What would be the dosage? How much powder its inside each package of furan?
Thank you

I went through something like this a couple months back. my zoa's are good to go, now back to the point. Here's my thread for when I went through it. I didn't track the progress daily on the forums.

Basically the treatment I did was one packet of furan 2 with some tank water, separate from the tank for 20 minutes each day, placing the zoas back in the tank after each treatment. After 7 days they were on their way back to better health and look great now.

The part that kind of freaked me out, was using an xacto knife to open the pockets, rinse them out with clean RODI or RO water before doing the dip. Only had to do that on the first day.

Sorry forgot to answer your question, each packet has 85mg of the Furan 2 mixture. I used 1 packet for 1 cup of tank water.

oh wow, looks like you have your hands full. Did you try the scapel thing? It doesn't take much, almost like popping a pimple. When I popped them, I swooshed them around in a separate container of tank water to get the pus balls off and then put them in treatment.
