Flatworm exit

[ebe]

Any used this on a bigger tank (I have a 210 with a decent sized sump). I am getting tired of them and haven't had luck with anything eating them consistently. I am deathly afraid of hurting or killing my expensive fish.

I just got done doing my big tank with that stuff I had red planaria everywhere I've got about a hundred and eighty gallons total water volume tank and sump together. The first time I treated I took two of those big reactors that BRS put 50% off by somatic completely full of carbon on the tank about 45 minutes after dosing it and what those run for 24 hours afterwards .I also siphoned as many as I could out for an hour or two every night for a week before I did this. I also did about a 30% water change couple hours after treatment. montipora bleached a little bit but none of it died and it's all recovered now. I dosed the full dose plus the 50% cuz I wanted to make sure I only had to do it once. And then a week later I had to do it again because I still had some but that time I didn't run any carbon at all or anything cuz it wasn't nearly as many and everything was fine. I'll add a link to the video that I recorded of them dying the little stringy things coming off the rocks are the flatworms. https://youtu.be/t3ppLsgVNYc

Did you have any fish in the tank? If so, how did they take it?

Three yellow tangs, a Sailfin Tang, snowflake eel, yellow Watchman goby , a damsel, pajama Cardinals, a blue tang, a feather duster, a pair of maroon clownfish and two Rose bubble tip anemones. They all looked a little stressed right after I dosed but came out of it quickly and everyone is doing fine.

If you choose to do it, I have a round of Salifert Flatworm Exit you can have. Expires 2020. I picked it up this summer, but when it came time to dose, all the horror stories came flashing back into my mind. I was too chicken to use it.
