Well I bit the bullet and treated with flatworm exit. Good and so.enot so good results.
I prepared well before starting. I had 2 2 little fishes 150 reactors FULL with mixed types of carbon (pellet large and small, granular and coarse) on stanby, 30g fresh SW, 6 fresh filter socks, nets lines with cheesecloth for scooping out, airline for syphening, and protien skimmer on wet skim.
As directions stated, I dosed accordingly, waited 30 minutes and saw little deaths, added 1/2 dose more. 15 minutes later it looked like a blizzard occured in the tank.
The tank was crystal clear before. The cloud is dead small flatworms.
I turned on carbon reactors and began netting and syphoning what I could. I changed socks every 30 minutes also. After an hour I did the water change.
I lost my Hollywood stunner chalice within the 1st 10 minutes of treatment & my new yellow with purple tips acro right after :( I'm going to leave them in the dt, maybe they'll return to life, time will tell.
It's been 6 hours since treatment began and the tank is clean and clear. However, I still see a few flatworms appearing on the glass. I am going to leave it alone tonight but try to siphon them out in the morning.
Should I retreat the tank and how soon? I have a 6 line wrasse but no cash flow for other critters right now.
