Great video and great instructions. I have used this product and also have totally eradicated flatworms in my tank. The horror stories of tank wipe outs are people not following the instructions and not being ready for the instantaneous die off of thousands of flatworms. For every flat worm you see - multiply 10x the amount in your tank. You need that huge water change and carbon ready to go and get ready to net out the corpses as iyt happens fast. The multiple doses are the key for erradication.
Great info! I just noticed I had some this week and i ordered the meds. None of my coral are being affected by them because i only see a few but im not taking that chance.
Tried it, didn't work. Every time it only killed 90% of my flatworms. The other ones that looked like they were in a dormant state were unaffected. Even repeated use couldn't kill all flatworm. After several uses only the unaffected flatworms were left. I have only the brown ones, which are only a visual problem, but I'll probably never be able to get rid of them.
I have a 14 gallon IM system with no protein skimmer. Can I still use this product safely if I siphoned off the dying worms and did a 50% water change 20 min after treating?
While I don’t wanna say “yes” I think that would be fine... really you just have to make sure you’re removing the toxins from the worms, only issue I see with the method you mention is that the medication may not have full effect. This is CCA I’m just logged into my other account. I guess monitor how many worms you have and how many you see dying or coming out after the treatment and adjust your water change as needed. Seeing how a water change is inevitable anyways due to symphoning out the water and worms it seems like a viable option
@Jay Iidd you can try visual inspections, dipping corals, or setting up a quarantine tank, nothing is 100% eventually you'll get something, just the way it is
Thank you; good advice on the repeated dosages
Awesome. Thank you for the tip. I didn't know why they were coming back everytime but now I know I should treat them every 7days at least for a month.
I like the part you mentioned about do it weekly for a month. informative! thank you.
My pleasure!
Great detailed review with advice. Thank you again.
kenneth rhoades you’re welcome!
encouraging. thank you for sharing!

I'm glad you agree and have also had success! Puts truth in my statement/hypothesis

Great advice. Subbed.
Do they recommend to use this as a dip? Seems like a good dip if it kills them in minutes…

Excellent video and information... 🦾🦾

@@rulerofthemulti-verse4756 thank you!
after the first dose, the second and third and four are the same amount or more ore less, thank you so much
What is dipping I don't know anything about reef aquariums but I still like to learn for future reference
Are sea anemones safe with the treatment?
Appears to be
Treated my tank, sucked out the dead ones, changed some water, put in a bunch of carbon. Clownfish and coral looking good so far. No protein skimmer.
Can you use it as a dip to corals before adding them
Good question, I would maybe dose a quarantine tank rather than make a dip
Dos flatworm exit work on aefw also?
and dont forget to wear your mask
Sounds like you need to quarantine everything before adding it to main tank but can’t flat worms come naturally from a thriving tank?
Like anything else, they are a hiking pest. Even through dips and quarantine you're not guaranteed to get them all.
When flatworms make it into your tank and you have a massive tank :-/
Sucks no matter what, some wrasse eat them
@Jay Iidd you can try visual inspections, dipping corals, or setting up a quarantine tank, nothing is 100% eventually you'll get something, just the way it is
Would that work on White flat worms also?
It should, I believe a flatworm is a flatworm lol 😆
@@CandyCoralAquaticsIt definitely does. It works on brown planaria and the white versions that afflict Goniopora. It does NOT work on aefw.
whay lights are used here making it glow so well
If I remember right they are hydra 26HDs. I still have them but I switched to radion G6 blue
Aefw don’t leave the acros.
Pour all of it!!!
