Overrun with flat worms

[atblj5]

I have an infestation of flat worms. I have in the past used Flat worm Exit, it has killed some but they keep coming back and more than ever. I am about to take all 125 pounds of live rock out and put in the dish washer. What can i do?

how on earth do you get the sixline into the turkey baster :eek1:

I have a six line but he does not eat them.

melanuris wrasse, target mandarin. they might help along with FW exit. Depending on which kind of FW you have, they can be a real PITA, but I'm sure you're finding that out.

If you have lots of red flat worms, you also have a nutrient problem. Decrease your nutrients, the flatworms will die on their own.

So I should not take the rock out and clean it? I know it will kill anything living on the rock.

of cource thats one in a 125 i would suggest 10+ once there got you can always sell them to local reefers who may need them or sell them to the lfs

the ones on the sand are prob alive to when mine would die they would float around and go down my return and make my skimmer go nuts
