Flatworm advice

A few weeks ago I noticed a few flatworms in my tank and just siphoned them out. Not too long after they practically took over my tank. I have consistently been siphoning them out and I have used several doses of Blue Life flatworm control (I couldn't find flatworm exit at any of the stores I visited and I had read of people having success with this too) followed by more siphoning, but they just continuously come back in big numbers. I don't have any fish in my tank right now so I have no been adding food, therefore nutrients shouldn't be high. I have also added another pump in my tank to increase flow.

What other methods can I use? I've read sixlines are good to control flatworms and I've also read of blue velvet nudibranches being very effective. Any recommendations or success stories with either of these?
 
Most LFS carry flatworm exit here in Broward. I would use that and follow the directions exactly. I had them awhile back and completely rid my tank of them.

I had very good success with a spotted Mandarin, It took him a good two months to wipe them out completely, but he got them all, and at the end I had a very fat mandarin.
