Dude, that is why I have not tried it yet..cause I'm scared that very thing will happen......that sucks.

Man, you are welcome to bring any you need to over here..You know I will take as best care of em as I can.

Did all the flat worms die? Did the water cloud up with toxins? Did you run the skimmer during that time and if so did it gum up with toxins? Could it have been the make up water or a new salt?

Either way let me know if there is anything I can do to help...I have makeup water and some extra salt on hand if you need me to store you some.

I can take a few. I am running low on space in the 55, but they will get plenty of light. I don't know how quickly you need to get rid of them. I can't really come to Daphne anytime soon. Let me know.

I do not know how big they are but you can place them in my sand bed. I also can help you out with some more carbon if you need some. I have a 5gal bucket. it might be too far for you to come. I would also doing a large water change...like 50%

Sorry no Halides here but otherwise I would say yes. Welcome to come get RO water if you are in a pinch though.

Another thought is Peter Yo..He has those large tubs couple are almost empty. You could give him a call. He might either let you use the space for free or rent..between the two of you...His cell is 228-249-9990

I have a huge 70 gallon stock tank outside going to waste, fill it up with water and give them light, wala instant home. Just a thought

Sorry about you whole episode. but I am willing to help in anyway if possible.

I honestly think it is the toxins being released by the dying flatworms. I do not think it is the product itself. Good luck and holler if you need anything.

From what I've read, it sounds like Xster speaks truth..I wish I could help, I just cant hold much at this point....

Yeah, like a dog dying when you give him heartworm treatment too fast... all the worms clog the heart and the dog dies

My heart definietly goes out to you... I'm still a week away from having a tank ready for you, sorry.

what did you end up doing? Did you get the tank stabalized. Did you get the corals placed somewhere safe?
