Would Polyplab Medic still be usable if it’s ground into powder?
This product is merely Peroxide salts and rarely if even works and is found helpful Only with very early protozoan stage and has to be diluted for use

I thought it was a powder/granules. Do you mean finer? Why would you need to do that?

Wanted to test it on my brothers tank that has ich. But he has cleaner wrasse, and they think it’s food. Told him QT it is. He just wants to run it and see where it gets him before QT being it.

I personally think it might not do what it’s meant to do if messed with.

Yeah - you don’t want fish to eat those granules. I would not grind it up further. Could you pre-dissolve some in RO water and then add it to the tank?

That all said, this product has a poor track record of success when used as a standalone treatment. As an adjunct to a suite of ich management techniques, it has better chance of success.
