- This was a hard video to make. I made a mistake using Flatworm Exit and killed my tang. Learn from my mistake and make sure to use FRESH carbon. I gotta keep it real and show my successes and failures. I hope this helps others.

It is important to see failures. We learn from mistakes. I hate guys that boast all their successes and they hide all of their failures. Many thanks for this video.
No problem! Thank you for the encouragement. I get flamed by people when I fail. But.... showing people success doesn't help them as much as showing them your failures. I hope others can learn from my mistakes so they don't have to deal with what I've gone through. Thank you soo much!
Great video sometime things happen you show the good bad and the ugly but things will get better
Thats for sure! There are a lot of ups and downs in this hobby. Gotta show it all to let people know they aren't alone when they mess up. I make my fair share of mistakes
I’ve been siphoning them out, I just started to dip corals. I have a shit load of them, what I’ve seen people say to do is siphon out the worms when you see them float “you didn’t have many so you probably couldn’t see them”
I plan on adding a but load of new carbon in a hob filter for when they die
Good plan!
Thank you for taking the time to help other people. I just want to say that I saw all my fish died one by one when I put old carbon that dried up for few days. I learn the hard way that the carbon once dried up will release all the toxic compounds filtered before. I transfered my fish in another tank but the dammage was already done. They all show signs of intense breathing, like their gills were unable to do the job anymore. This is very lethal, the died in just few minutes.
I hope this makes sense to you, always put new carbon!
Good luck with the bloody worms, I also need to do a treatment but there is only few of them for now, hopfully all will go well...
That makes soo much sense to me. I'm really sorry that happened to you. We gotta share our fails so others won't repeat our mistakes.
I plan on running carbon in a hob filter for about a day or so. Is that fine?
Bummer!
A snow globe! Tis the season. 😁. I’m not a fish disease expert, but my first hint that it may have been an intestinal parasite since the stomach was extended and it was emaciated. Sorry for the loss. It sucks to loose a fish.
Shit happens! Shake it off and keep moving forward...
Can you use this stuff if you have clams?
I’m not sure? I would be cautious though!
Did the flatworm treatment work?
Yep. Just at a cost. Use fresh carbon and I would aerate if I don't have a skimmer on the tank.
@@shallowreefing I just set up a little zoa nano, and who would have guessed-- there are flatworms on the live rock I bought from the "random live rock bin" at the lfs. No fish in there yet. Just like 10 kinds of zoas that I shamelessly put in within an hour of setting up the tank.
I Tried to save a hermit crab infected with some sort of flatworms by getting the hermit out of its shell and physically removing all flukes attached to the crabs body. The hermit crab was fine in a small container with calcium powder sand for 2 days, but 2 hours I put it in the main tank I find the crab with its guts busted open and flatworms all over the tank... I feel you pain man.
Sometimes we try our best, but it's not good enough. Eventually we will get better and our animals will be better because of our experience. I'm sorry man
@@shallowreefing speaking of flatworms I’ve got another infestation to deal with when I get home today:(
@@murphy423 thoughts and prayers lol. I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you come out on top!
This doesn't work on the big white flat worm...tried three times..even double dose
Didn’t know that!
or don't overdose 8x the recommended dose?
On the box it states that going over may be necessary
it's definitely exit... I just murdered around 200 fish in my 4 footer today... I'm devastated, followed Instructions to a T .. over 120 guppies and around 40 plecos... dead! only some shrimp and some planaria still alive.. be careful and remove all fish prior to treatment!!!
Also this music is way too upbeat to watch a fish die..
Lol techno beat! I like it
did you really flush him while he was still moving??? not much you could do for him but flush him while he's still alive?! sickening
I read about freezing him but some people said it would hurt him even more. No good choice. Wait for him to die is never a good thing either. I wish he would have lived. I loved him.
@@shallowreefing Really dude, spend 5 minutes on the Internet and you could find that a clove oil bath is a painless and humane way to euthanize. Shame on you! Nor did you think to use FRESH carbon when putting a strong chemical into your tank? What are you doing?!?!
@@opethmike you live an learn man. Just sharing my experience. Must have not seen that. Hopefully you don't lose any fish ever. It sucks. Best of luck to you
@@opethmike bro you act like shit doesn't happen. I think you've been in the hobby long enough to know you will not be able to keep everything and every fish alive. So you sftu and don't comment if you aren't saying anything positive
It was deep that you threw him into the toilet while still alive, common sense would tell you dying slowly in saltwater is better then being thrown into cold fresh water filmed for a moment then flushed, it'd be more humane to throw a brick or slab on it. I was in shock when seeing it in the toilet, probably due to the shock he had more motion in the toilet then your tank.smh
