Flatworm Stop KZ

[Perry]

I used it when I suspected I had AEFW, and what I noticed is increased slime coating during conditions where corals slime, taking out of water, basting, after feeding, the normal conditions that induce sliming. This increase in sliming is what the corals use to protect themselves from AEFW, the worms do not like the slime. So, does it kill AEFW, no, what it does is increase the health, in turn the sliming effect. Combining certain wrasse, blue leg hermits, peppermint shrimp, and dosing the KZ Flatworm Stop, and I could not find them on any corals within 6 months. I feel the product works

I use it and coral booster 2ml or each everyday in my 100 gal. It's expensive but I can definitely tell a positive improvement when I use it.

lets bump this up.

I have everything stable in my tank with alk, calc, etc but I am still getting pale colors.

I have both of these in storage so I am thinking about dosing them again. Wanted to see if everyone is still using them and if you can give me your experience and also some pictures of your tank or a link to your tank!

Im not entirely certain Coral Boost is going to do much for color. If your light is good maybe you need more nutrients. Have you tried something like Acropower?

Here is my tank, it's about 8 months old.

i have the sunpoer 8x80w with 2 reefbrites.

I have both flatworm stop and coral booster, I also have acropower but I stopped dosing all three.

I may start dosing acropower again at like 10ml a day.

How do you keep your sand so clean? Do you blow it with water daily or what?

I have a large diamond goby that does it for me.

Are you to say that it is Levamisole inside the bottle secret ingredients?

Some people will not respond to a thread this old, so please post a new one if you have more questions.

Flatworm Stop from KZ does work well to kill AEFW. From what I can tell, is is wormwood and a few other ingredients like maybe Iodine and some other stuff. There is no Levamisole in this.

Flatworm Exit by Salifert does have Levamisole in it. This is not for AEFW and more for regular red planaria. I have used Levamisole a bunch and it is perfectly safe, but the worms release a very toxic substance when they start to die - this substance can kill all kinds of things.

Levamisole does not work well for AEFW in concentrations safe to use in a tank - few successes and many failures. It kills other flatworms very well.

Thank you!
