[Lowefx]

anyone have any updates on their use. good or bad.

I just finished my 4th dose. I did not have very many flat worms. I personally only seen 2, but my Vivid Rainbow Acro was all bit up and deffinatly was being eaten. Now the acro looks much better, and I cant di d any sign of bites or flat worms. I'll take it as a win until I see something wrong.

If possible, leave your skimmer running but remove the collection cup and let it run back into the sump for a minimum of 48hrs. Longer is better if your system can handle not having the skimmer actually removing gunk.

No issues running vibrant at the same time

Ok cool, I’m on day 9 and have just put the skinner cup back on. When I do my next dose shall I leave it off for 48 hours again?

Fantastic to hear

I would leave it off as long as your system can handle, but a minimum of 48 hours

I finished my course 3 months ago. I didn’t have many worms but it works for sure. Follow their dosing guide on their website. I did however loose 2 very pricey acros (slow tissue necrosis) not sure if it was related to this product.

Great to hear and sorry to hear about the few that didn’t make it

Hi @UWC

Started purge on Monday, I’m basting corals daily. I haven’t got a bad problem with flatworms however after basting a acropora I found one big adult fly off but have seen no eggs. Up to now that is the only flatworm seen. My tank is heavily loaded with wrasse so maybe this has/is keeping it in check?

Back in December I dosed purge for 2/3 weeks to treat for MEN but cut the program short as I was going on holiday however I’m pleased to report I haven’t seen any since and colour on the corals has returned. MEN were still present for 2 weeks during the dosage.

Back to Monday I dosed purge again this time to run the full course. I basted on Tuesday to find only one large flatworm come off and be eaten by my wrasse. What I did notice was when it flew off the flatworm seemed lifeless? Is that possible after the initial shock double dose? Up to now I’m feeling quite good but will run double dose throughout the 28 day treatment.
During your test period what did you notice happened to the flatworms?

Thanks

 

[UWC]

Awesome to hear about the MEN’s!

Totally normal for the AEFW’s. Some hold on longer and are much more resilient and some are almost paralyzed instantly. The latter species, which it sounds like you have, go down easily

Thanks @UWC

I’ve put skimmer cup back on tonight.... been off 72hours... no more signs tonight still of worms. How long should any affected bites take to heal over?

I was wondering this too the other week

 

[UWC]

I’d say most start seeing major improvements around week three. Every tank is a bit different depending on level of infestation

The end of week three or like right before they dose the 4th time or right around when they dose the third time?

 

[UWC]

Between day 14-21, but as I said, every tank is different

@UWC
Today will be my day 14 dosage but I just found some new eggs on the sps. Do you recommend if I do another double dose?

Thanks.

I'd try to remove them from the tank first. I did a few double doses with no ill effect.

 

[UWC]

If you have enough to do another double, I would

It’s really hard to remove them without tearing down the tank. I think I’ll just double dose my last two treatment as I have enough to do it.

If your very concerned, you could extend the treatment another week or two just to make sure the larvae dies after it hatches.

 

[yongwooi]

Got it.

 

[Craig Whittington]

@UWC

Is it essential to baste daily throughout? Or just every so often?

Also I run a clarisea but currently have left the trap door open during treatment. After 72hours am I ok to put this back into action with the skimmer cup? Or would you leave it off?

Thanks

 

[UWC]

Not 100% necessary but definitely recommended as it gets the worms out of their comfort zone and relieves the acros.

I would leave them off if your system can handle them not running
