LC Scott Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Anyone in the Tigard area have some flatworm exit? My picto has flatworms and I'm reluctant to spend 30 bucks on it when I only need three drops of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I bought it for my 2 gallon pico a while back, before it was a pest tank. Of course, now I say bring on the flatworms! Sadly, their numbers stay in check in the pest tank. Same with the asterina stars. I think the majanos and aiptasia eat them. Anyhow, I have nearly a full bottle as I only used a couple drops as well. I'll say this. You had better get them all the first time. I ended up with flatworm resistant flatworms. And thus I had to get a baby sixline, which worked great! And then a 10 gallon tank for the sixline after it cleaned up the flatworms. You know the drill. I'd probably go for a double or triple dose to start with. (after manually removing as many as possible with a turkey baster). Sometimes if you're diligent enough, you can get rid of them by sucking them out every time you see one. But that's a pain in the backside. Maybe pull your rockwork out and treat it outside of the tank in a super heavy concentration? Not like we're talking about treating a 120 gallon tank here.

Islandoftiki Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The more I think about it, the more I'd suggest pulling the rockwork, if you can, and treat it in a bucket with a powehead and a heater. Maybe do a Coral RX dip as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I would of thought about taking rocks out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This being his tiny tank, this is probably the best way to go. Do you have any coral dip, Scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
