KZ Flatworm Stop when cycling new tank with live rock

[Muffin87]

I noticed some flatworms in my 16G with LPS.

Not sure if they're the Acropora eating type.

 

I'm about to cycle a new 55G in a couple of weeks.

 

Is it a good idea to dose KZ flatworm Stop or Salifert Flatworm eXit in:

• my 16G
• the new 54G tank during cycling.
  Would this help reducing the number of flatworm hitch-hickers from the live rocks?

 

Thanks a lot!

I'd might use Flatworm eXit in your 16 gallon tank.  I wouldn't treat the 54 unless you see flatworms in it, or have already transferred rock from your 16 gallon tank.  IME, Flatworm eXit is best used in a series of treatments, as their eggs can survive the initial treatment.

 

Years ago, I had some flatworms that developed a resistance to Flatworm eXit.  I ultimately had to use Levamisole in order to get rid of them.
