Now that this product has been out for a while, just wondering if anyone has seen a tank with AEFW use this product and actually rid the tank of those pests.
Any success with KZ flatworm stop?

been using it since april when i found ALOT of AEFW on my corals. Havent seen any worms or bite marks in sometime now. What i did was take out badly infected corals and dipped and inspected and scraped the eggs off used the zeo flatstop along with k balance and basted my corals every other day for 4 months straight and only dosed at night with blue lights on and skimmer off for 2 hours. whenever you see a coral with bite marks take it out and dip. i did that and just put the coral back into my DT. it says no need to shut off skimmer but i know some has to be skimmed out. After about 4 months i stopped heavy basting and only basted every water change which is twice per week. i now use coral booster as to what thomas pohls suggested. once i get a QT i will stop because i am satisfied i no longer have them

Acros & wieners, oh my!
I've just finished my first 250ML bottle and will receive my second tomorrow. I have a newly started tank(started in July) and have at least 30 SPS colonies that have been added in that time from several sources.
On a couple of occasions I saw stressed corals and I narrowed the culprit down to high Alk, low Potassium, or pests. After dipping several of these colonies I have yet to see one flatworm. (I did have very low potassium and a bit too high alk)
It may be snake oil, but I've read many accounts of the stuff reversing flatworm issues, and at 45 dollars for roughly 2.5 months of doses, its cheap compared to the cost of livestock I have.
One more thing - the corals love it and respond when it is added to the tank. My only negative is that the one coral that didn't do well with it was a frag of the "unkillable" bali slimer. Since the mechanism of action of this stuff is to increase mucus production, maybe on the slimer it was just too much...nothing definitive there though.
