Well, I HAD a case of planaria flatworms and I dosed my tank today with Flatworm Exit. There were only about 100 flatworms that were visable but I thought it would be best to take care of it now before it became a huge problem.
Here is how I handled it:
- Got 15 gallons of saltwater ready for a water change
- Put a pound of carbon in a media bag
- Sucked out all the visable flatworm out with an airline tube
- Dropped 50 drops of Salifert Flatworm exit into the aquarium
- Kept all pumps running until I noticed that all the flatworms were dead
- Shut everything down and did a 15 gallon water change
- Turned everything back on and added the carbon
It has been 6 hours since I treated the tank, and I haven't seen any yet. I couldnt' beleive how quick that flatworms started to die. I bet it only took a minute before all the flatworms started to peel off the rock. It was a wonderful sight:bounce:
I will be keeping a close eye on the tank and if I see anymore I will dose again.
