Used coral dip water. We got home late at night after a long trip, so I dipped coral I bought and I usually have four bowls of water when I dip: 1. The water the coral came in mixed with a little qt tank water, 2. Dip water, 3. Rinse water, 4. Clean tank water. The tank water is the final step and I usually dump it in the sump of my qt system and put the coral in an egg crate rack, while all other water gets dumped in the waste bucket.
So I go through my normal steps, dump the clean water in the sump after putting cora l away. I get distracted by the YouTube video I had on for background, grab the dip water and for some reason, unbeknownst to me, dumped it straight into my display sump, flatworms and all. I moved my six lined wrase into the sump for a couple of weeks then back to the display, and replaced my macro algaes entirely. There was also a panicked water change at like three am.
This was ten months ago at the beginning of the year before I got travel restrictions with my job, and so far no sign of the flatworms in sump, display, or qt tank so hopefully I'm out of the woods!
