Hi all,

Im planning to dose flatworm Rx in my tank for brown flatworms that have been taking over my tank.

My plan is to get some tank water and move all of my corals that are not mounted to the rocks in a temporary bucket. (Most of my corals are loose frags.) This is to isolate them from the toxins etc.

Then do the flatworm thingy where you siphon most of them out when they start dying, add carbon, and do a big water change.

My question now is, how long after the treatment can i add the corals from the bucket back to the main tank? After couple hours of carbon & water change? Longer? Longer is gonna be hard since i dont have a different tank ready.
 
The way you are doing it ……My guess is after the big water change the danger has passed.
