Expect some form of an algea bloom. When dosing any agent that can kill one thing, it will kill many. This adds bio load and removes critters that aid in breaking down waste. I would assume every one will see some increase in algea growth, I now I did. It is to be expected. frequent GAC changes, regular WCs, and good skimmer maintenace become key to fending that off. It'll settle down if you stay after it.
What worries me more is the loss of SPS. As has already been asked, please summarize your dose, frequencey and state of the SPS when you started. As I mentioned above, I only saw SPS stress when I drastically OD'd the system. I am convinced that those SPS I lost after begining the treatment were gonners before I began.
We really need to appreciate how damaging the AEFWs can be. No treatment can be perfect and with out side effects. Hopefully, this experience will teach everyone afflicted that an ounce of prevetion, is worth a pound of cure. QT .... QT .... QT

I've not seen flatworms coming off of any acros in a week now (basting method) - and I've NOT treated yet.
This frustrates me because I really want to get a few into a pico I have and find out if I can breed them.
I wonder if they are at a really low level right now? Weird!

My tank doesn't have a lot of AEFW's but I wanted to erradicate them.
I diluted 5grms of Levamisole in 3 cups of water and then divide it for three doses of 1 cup for 100gls(water volume) for 8-10 hours every 6 hours. Then new ROX GAC and water change, fishes were ok before 4th dosage almost all my SPS collection gone.

Wanna save me some work? What was the coupon code? I also have read every post on this thread and must have overlooked this.
