What I use to crush medication like Cipro or amoxicillin.

Easy, fast, and works well.







What do you guys use?

I thought the pill will just disolve when placed in front of a powerhead, why the need to crush them?

I've done that too! Works good.

A spoon works too.

They will, just takes too long for me.

I like watching it snow all at once.

Just whatever works best for you. As long as you get the medication in the water column, you're good to go! :bdaysmile:

I don't like to stick my hands in the tank which is why I crush mine.

If you google pill crushers, they have all kinds. Cheap too.

Check the ratings on amazon.

I've been mixing it in food to treat fish in the DT. Need much less in comparison to treating 175g of water and the resulting ramifications.

Crushing the pill into a fine powder makes it easier to deliver.

Children actually are recommended to take antibiotics like this in suspension it makes deliver easier.

why spend the extra money when you can spend it on a new fish

I just put it in a glass and fill 1/2 full of tank water, throw in the pill, let it sits for 5 or ten minutes while I watch the anemones/fishes, then I stir it until they all dissolve, pour in the tank and see the cloud, done for the nite

I put it in a 5g tank with an MP40 to agitate the water. OK, not really, but the thought had crossed my mind. I just use my gloved hand in the tank and let it dissolve.

Let it dissolve. I just stick it on the top of the old koralia power head. The flow keeps it there until its small to fall thru.

Do need a pill crusher for the gf tho. She can't take anything. I'm always going at Excedrin with a hammer and mixing it in yogurt.

 

[Squidmotron]

Why crush it at all? It dissolves in minutes.

Look at this bad mother!

look like a torture tool
