When I first started using a dip recipe using lugols, I used 2-3 drops per gallon of freshwater. After a while the recommended dosage seems to have been bumped up to 5-6 drops per gallon of freshwater.
Not long ago I talked with another zoanthid addict and he said that 10-12 drops per gallon of freshwater is more effective.
I used this amount 3 different times and had good success, however a person I recommened this too said that he did the dip on several colonies that were infected with nudi's, using this dosage, and he has lost about 30% of the zoanthids on some of the rocks and total loss one.
I have emailed a few other people and asked privately about this and some have told me they even use more.
I'm curious, do other people use more than the 5-6 drops per gallon?
How much is too much?
I did a dip on some ppe's using 10 drops of lugols and 3 drops of FWE in about 3/4 of a gallon of freshwater 3 weeks ago and they came out fine.
How many drops?
