So I ordered a product that came recommended called faltworm exit by Salifert. Has anyone used this product? I read how it is used with water changes and carbon supplimentation, but was wondering if anyone had success with this.
What about fish eating flatworms? Anyone have experience with fish eating the things in any great number?
I offered them back to Mike for free if he wanted to come pick them out of the 110 .
"Well......maybe I did get alittle carried away! "
Like i said, always had a Mandarin chow down on them in great numbers.

"You ate what?"--H.I.
"We ate sand."--Cellmate
"You ate sand?"--H.I.
"That's right."--Cellmate
I had them, now they are gone. I have not seen any in a few months. All I did was a few water changes, some carbon and I tuned in my skimmer a bit. I am not sure if that helped or if I am just not seeing them.
Six line wrasse should hunt those little boogers too! I have 2 of them and have not yet had a flatworm problem. Come to think of is, I havehad a wrasse of one kind or anothre since shortly after my first tank cycled. I can't speak on the other varieties, but the six line wrasses are little work horses. The NEVER stop hunting!
Good luck!

BTW....B & B has a baby six line that looks very healthy. Check it out!
I have 2 six lines in the same tank along with a two-spot canary coris wrasse. The two six lines swim together like girlfriend and boyfriend . The act like the coris wrasses doesn't exist!
If the space is large enough, you shouldn't have a problem!
BTW....make sure you put an egg crate on the top of the tank....wrasses are known jumpers! I lost a mated pair of Scott's fairy wrasses to carpet surfing.
Salifert makes a great product called flatworm exit.
I keep it handy and medicate all incoming corals and rock with it. The medication is very reef safe, even if overdosed. The danger lies with the flatworm mass death as the body juices are toxic.
Have carbon ready to go and read the instructions. Works fast. Amazing stuff.

I ordered some and just got it in. It is a surprisingly small bottle for as pricey as it is.
I want to do a water change after i dose so I am waiting to get some R/O water made (just installed my r/o unit today.
