Just wondering if I am able to remove my corals from our 30gal tank and place them into our 90gal tank before I treat the 30gal tank with flatworm exit? The 90gal does not have flat worm issues,,,,,but having said that would I be contaminating the 90gal tank if the corals are placed in it before being treated?

All input is appreciated.

Yes you could contaminate the 90. Even though you may not see any of the flatworms, the eggs are tough to see.

+1 I would think there is a good chance for cross contamination

I've never done this before, but what about a freshwater dip for the corals before the transfer??????

Why not get some Coral dip when you take them out and dip them. then put them in the 90.

Has anyone experienced any problems with their corals when treating for flatworms? I lost a fish when I used the product and I've heard from a few other people about losing fish.
