I am moving my 7 month old system in a different direction (TM). After noticing Ich like symptoms I have moved the fish to QT, doing very well in hypo now for 4 weeks. I noticed this morning two Benign flatworms on the glass of main system(clear with a forked tail). Question: I would like to keep the main system in fallow 4 more weeks. Do I wait for the fish to reduce the flatworms or hit them with Flatworm Exit :boxing:? I want to start right and say right as long as I can with the rebuild. (150gal DT, 170gal total vol.)

Thank you for your experience! JD
 
Those worms like to hang out in dirty, low flow areas. Keep it clean, and give it lots of flow and I think they will go away quickly. At least that is my experience.
 
Why would you want to mess with anything that is benign?
