Wish me luck!

Wow, not a good thing to have an infestation of flat worms! When ever you introduce chemicals into your tank you run the risk of killing many beneficial organisms unfortunately!
It is adviseable to promptly remove/dillute the medication as quickly as possible via carbon, skimming and water changes as you and other fellow reefers have suggested!
Best of luck

 

Good Luck! I haven't seen you post in a while. How is your Moorish Idol doing?

Hey keep us informed as to how this works. I have seen a couple of them and have Flatworm Exit but I really don't want to use it. If all goes well with your tank then I guess I will have to do it.

Have a question though, can I dip and move some of my more mobile pieces of coral to a QT tank? Would this be better than treating them in the tank?

 

So far the tank seems stable. Some of the corals seem to be recovering while others still seem shocked. The flat worms seem to have been killed. My clams seem to be unaffected.

Hey Diver, I havent posted in several months because my mothers been ill and I have been traveling back and forth between Minnesota and California alot. Works been very busy and I've got a new dog (Giant Schnauzer) and also devoting alot of time to my hi-end audio hobby. Thats why the flat worm population got out of hand. I neglected my tank a little too much. Live and learn!

My Moorish Idol has gotten very large and is doing well. The trick to keeping it is a varied diet and feeding 2-3 times per day. I feed alot of sponge food as well as mussel meat and clams along with formula 2 frozen or flake spirulina daily. Mysis or frozen plankton twice a week.

I'll have to get off my lazy A. and post pics now that I finally have a digital camera.
