brianemone Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 be carefull with the exit, can can affect your fish even if used correctly Link to comment
joekr Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 FE works, but also be prepared to use more than the instructions say. I had to use 3 times the recomended amount to get rid of the little &*@$^(&@%^ Every coral, every rock going in my tank now gets nuked before it gets dropped in my 20. I use a medium sized bowl, acclimate the coral and put 5 drops in for 45 minutes. No more flatworms!! Link to comment
ravenmore7 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 One trick I used involved a HOT Magnum with the micron cartridge. You just hook a hose to the input end and use it like a vacumn. Just suck up all the flatworms you can once a week until their numbers diminish.... Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 if the rocks or corals are easy to remove from the tank just get a bucket of your tank water, swish them around for about a minute and replace the rocks into your tank. this gets rid of a lot of them quickly cuz they cannot hang on. but if they are the white ones they are pretty harmless, if the are the red ones they can irritate corals. i had them on a zoo rock that i purchased, i did this, and have not seen any since Link to comment
