Treating Flukes, not liking the signs

[cham]

Ok, so I know my fish got some flukes. I have a pretty high stock level on my SPS tank and I cannot afford to take my skimmer off line for too long.

I dosed Prazipro 30 hours ago and I've noticed that the regular flatworms (small case of them, just regular flatworms) aren't dead yet. That's making me wonder if I did something wrong or if my Prazi is too old or something. Any ideas?

Also, I've taken my GAC offline but kept my GFO online as I haven't read anything about it needing to be removed. I've tried googling for more information but don't have any.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

From what I've heard some flatworms are not killed by prazi. I would take everything off line just to be safe. I lost a few sps when I dosed because of water quality not the medication. If you do frequent and large water changes you should be able to keep the water quality high.

Try using flatworm exit. I used it after siphoning out as many as I could. within minutes you'll see the floating (dead) around your tank. Do a WC and run carbon shortly after. Repeat 2 days later incase you didn't kill all of them and then your flatworm free. My tank had thousands of them and its all SPS. Make sure you remove most of the manually because when they die they are toxic to SPS.

Used two bottles of FW exit on my 120g tank. Each time many have died, but some always seem to survive.
