flatworm exit

Hi all, Im currently dealing with a big flatworm infestation and im siphoning them out daily with an airline tube on the glass, and i was planning to do this daily for a week or so to prep for flatworm eXit, until i noticed my sand is covered too, but with very tiny ones. The problem is that i...

Cheers, all! I am moving a pair of clowns and a cleaner shrimp (with a couple of snails) into a new and cycled tank. The current tank has been neglected (by me, not intentionally) and is riddled with cyano, nuisance algae, and flatworms (NOT acropora munching ones, thank goodness.) I have...

Can someone help identify if these are flatworms eggs ? I’ve been battling them for a while. With fishes and flatworm exits

Hello everyone! I have a case of planaria flatworms in my Hammer and Octo garden, and I also have a red serpent star (along with other sea stars and a cleaner shrimp). Has anyone experience negative effect from Flatworm Exit and serpent stars, even when running carbon post-treatment?? Thanks!

Hi everyone, just wanted to share just another cautionary tale for the use of Flatworm Exit. I want to share my journey to help others make informed decisions and avoid similar mistakes. Tank size: 210 gal, 9 months old Mostly fish with a couple of soft corals and large euphyllias Around a...

I have some kind of brown flatworm in my 75 gal. I noticed them condensing in areas with algae and/or copepods. I got a blue velvet nudibranch instead of trying flatworm exit. Here’s what I have learned: 1.) Run activated carbon. I use R0X .8 from BRS. 2.) Nudibranchs have no ability to...

I've been battling what I thought is Cyano for over a year. Did various treaments, like ChemiClean (Many months ago...Once) , then I stopped using Amino's which would fuel this red Cyano like growth. I even added more pumps for flow to eliminate dead spots. OLD PHOTO FROM a few months ago...

I found what I'm 99% sure is red Planeria on my soft coral. I'm experienced in the fish world but this is my first tank with Coral. I have some soft corals along with a bunch of fish. So how much do I need to worry about this? Is this something that may not cause any harm if left or do I need to...

So, this is an ongoing process and what I have done so far. Purely Information for others. Maybe help for me. I started a new 240g roughly 300 total volume and easy math. This was January. I put some corals in March and dipped In fresh water since I saw flatworms on them. I’m pretty rash and it...

I discovered nudibranches eating my zoa colonies. First instinct was to purchase a large Melanurus wrasse, but a week in and he still has shown no interest in the nudibranches or in any food yet. I am hoping this will change soon. I removed all the large colonies and did a freshwater dip for...

So I just got some frags today from a seller who has flatworms. Excellent guy, he dipped the frags for me and did a flatworm XIT dip along with his regular coral dip while we talked. I further inspected the frags before adding them to the tank and couldn’t see anything on them (they’re small zoa...

Hello all, Ive been absolutely BATTLING flat worm ever since the edition on my torch. I have flat worn exit and it says it doesn’t effect corals but they significantly look affected when the flatworm exit gets put in. I follow directions exactly but they keep on coming back. I do it every seven...

I had a red planaria breakout and treated it with flatworm exit. Treatment was good as only did half recommended measure but severely under estimated the amount of worms in tank. Toxin from dead worms has wiped everything out, only bits of coral flesh sticking out from rocks. Have totally...

Hi everyone, When using Flatworm eXit they advise to use 1lb of carbon for every 50 gal of water. My reactor won't hold close to this, so I'm filling it as much as I can. How long should I run this increased amount before I return to the normal amount for my volume of water? Thanks!

Hello Fellow Reefers! I'm a new reefer and now my reef has been running for 05 months. Since the beginning i came across amyloodinium ocellatum (killed all my fish), valonia algae (under control so far with mitraculus crab) and flatworm (normal ones, GOD i hope to not comme across AEFW onde...

Hi - need some expert advice on this one, they were covering the base of my torch coral and nearly killed it. Put into Coral Dip and they immediately came off. Any ideas what they are and how to get rid of them from my system? Thanks!!
