Ok, so I have this small DSB project going on, but it has a flat worm problem.
I get out there buy myself some Salifert drops.
I respect the paper, check online for tips and tricks and I go ahead and dose the thing with everything prepared for a tank intoxication.
Micro filters a LOT of activated coal, water change (more than the whole tank) to do a partial water change...
I sat in front of there seeing the worms agitated.
I knew I had some worms but I never though there was some HUGE ones too.
Some start to roll out and die off (I guess)
So as they said on the paper I dump the activated coal and let the tank sit.
My SP got stressed a little, some zoas didn't like, and some native ophiuroidea were not in a lovely state.
2 days later, the worms are back.
So I think hey, maybe I dumped the activated charcoal too quickly.
I go ahead and do the same.
...
I dose ... does nothing. On the instruction it said, if you don't see worms dying after 30 mins, add half more of the dose.
Here goes (YOU GONNA DIE)
...
Worms start peeling off the window, running about the big worms going around my mushrooms like their butt is on fire.
This time I wait 2 hours and then I insert activated charcoal.
Busy week, one week later, SAME OMG!
Today I decided, to add twice the dose directly and NOTHING hapenned, not even the Star polyps having a hard time. My conclusion, everything adapted to it ...
I am not willing to go and copper treat the thing since it's a DSB I'm a little out of ideas.
What should I do ? Normally I would sit this one out but I'm scared about the toxicity of a high concentration of those flat worms.
Did anyone see flatworms control themselves by starvation ? Is it even possible ?
P.S.
Sorry for the broken english
