AEFW, Flatworm Stop and Lifecycle Questions

[jda]

I never tried it, but it did for some others that PMed me. They filtered it through a coffee filter after it mixed up overnight. ...something like 1 ml for each 10g of water, or so. There is nothing scientific here... just anecdotes from hobbyists.

The stuff from Kz can get expensive on a large tank.

EDIT: I need to clarify... I did dose my tank with wormwood mixture and it was totally safe. I have no AEFW, so no idea if it worked on them.

What's your formula?

1/4 Cup in a 2 liter bottle of RO. Mix and shake for a few days. Filter through a coffee filter. Add 1 ml per 10 gallons of tank water every day.

everything still free of flatworms? I do not have any after using Purge but I am always trying to stay ahead of the curve if somehow I ever get them again.

Also how is the woodworm mixture going for people who tried it?

The patient-zero tank is still AEFW free.

The patient-zero tank is still AEFW free.

Do you happen to have any pictures of his tank? Interested to see how infected the corals were and how they look now, with PE and color.

Has anyone tried wormwood for an extended time? @jda has me interested in possibly trying this method. I just blew $200 on a purge treatment that didnt work (found worms tonight). Looking for something else to try for in tank treatment. I have several large colonies and out out of tank treatments wont work. I would need two large kz flatworm stop bottles at $280 which would give me 200 days of treatment. Looking to see if wormwood would be a cheaper alternative.
thanks

I would start the flatworm stop just to get them healthy, then maybe experiment with the wormwood.
I liked the fws so much I might start it again even though I don’t have any worms.
My friends tank I dosed fws on is still worm free, treatment works great.

Bumping an old thread. Does the home brew result in the same thickening of SPS? I don't have AEFW but I love what it does. The price is a shocker though. Just like Coral Snow, I know the active ingredients are simple and cheap.
