siphoning flat worms

[jchump5415]

Ok who has a good way to siphon out flat worms both before and after treatment. I have used just about everything...either the suction is not stong enough to really get the alive ones unstuck or the siphon is too stong and sucks up too much sand. About to break out the shopvac

If you have a sump, tape a filter sock to the end of the tube, put it in your sump and that way you can siphone the flatworms and they will be in the filtersock, that way you can do it without doing a water change.

What Mark said, or take a power head and blow them off of the rocks/sand, then suction them off.
Remember there are a ton of them you wont ever see or suction up... good luck.

I controlled my outbreak of them with adding lots of flow, the buggers hate flow, fyi.
