flat worms

[annetate]

i have a bad case of flatworms in my 10g nano, ive tried putting a light up to the side of the tank and syphoning them out, that worked a little. but there are so many, i have heard some bad stuff about flatworm exit and that nude's are a poor investment so if anyone has any helpful info please HELP!

the tank consists of 2 clowns, 1 firefish, a scallop, featherduster, mushrooms, xenias, blue leg hermits, and a couple snails.

With that small of a tank, can you remove all your LR and treat them separately? That should also make siphoning what's left in the tank much easier.

Flatworm eXit didn't do jack for me but it works for most. Just be warned; when they start to die, siphon them out immediately. Their toxins have a bad effect on other tank inhabitants. Plan on a large water change afterwards. Make sure you have some fresh carbon too.

The exit worked for me this past weekend, not a worm in sight.

I had to use it twice the first treatment didn't kill them all they came back but after the second treatment they are all gone. make sure you follow the directions though.
