I was hoping a few people who have done a Flatworm Exit treatement could share any info and tips to make this process as painless as possible.
I plan to suction as many as I can out with a turkey baster. There are probably under 30 so I may be able to suck them all out. I suctioned about half out once and it looks like they have populated and are back. My plan is to suction then all out, and then do the treatement for the stragglers I don't see visually on the glass.
Someone suggested that I have a decent amount of salt water mixed up and ready. To do the treatement, then change out 50% of the water, and then a gallon or two ever other day for a week or two.
Anyone else have any specific pointers?
Turn the pumps off and dose the tank? Then wait for the worms to float up and take them out/suction them out of the tank? How long do I wait? How much should I dose? ANY POINTERS APPRECIATED.
I have a 12 gallon aquapod tank. I think I have flatworms. They are creme colored little flatworm looking things that are on the glass only. Not near the polyps or mushrooms but I don't have any hard corals.
