What are the ingredients?
I haven’t personally used it, but the general rule of thumb is that reef safe = ich safe (useless)

I've never used it, but it contains hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid - two oxidizers that have been used in disease treatments. The trouble has always been with these - in order to make them "reef safe" they need to be dosed very low, making them also pretty much "ich safe".
What is the two part treatment aspect though? Polyp Lab Medic, another oxidant treatment, is just a single process. From what I can tell, you dose the tank with "Neufinn" after the MinnFinn treatment. This is almost assuredly sodium thiosulphate, as this can be used to neutralize peroxides.

I would not
This appears to be a pond treatment that can be used in aquarium and somewhat innefective
Coppersafe would be your best bet used in a quarantine setting
Hyposalinity is another effective method
Just not worth the risk with lack of specific agents

you can use a fish trap if the issue with doing copper is difficulty catching fish.

That is not true. MF has been very effective at clearing white spot. It is not used at a lower dose and is reef safe. Has had excellent results for pretty much anything on the outside of an animal including red bugs and acro eating flatworms. The two part is treat for an hour with part one and then neutralize with part two. Once neutralized it is like it was never there. No water changes needed and non toxic.

It is also used in ponds but has also been proven in reef tanks as well. It is far safer and effective than copper. Copper is an immunosuppressant and often does nothing for ridding the parasite. MinnFinn is far more broad spectrum with much more immediate results.

Try it before you toss it. You may find a new tool that improves fish health. That rule of thumb does not always apply.

It is a good choice. For any external pathogens on fish and inverts. It has proven very effective in 3 to 5 treatments for white spot. The lifecycle is why there are more treatments required.Has anyone used this Minnfinn treatment? Couple of my fishes have ich and want to treat thme but I cant catch them.

Great! So you recommend doing a couple treatments? My tank volume is 210 gallon and one box treats 110 gallons so I ordered two boxes.
