Question about flatworms and Flatworm Exit

[lockrookie]

yes be cautious with flatwork exit i know a guy that wiped out his whole system addingit to his display tank.. was not a good day be sure to have alot of premade water for a water change anddo alot of water changes. after / durring treatment if there are alot the toxins could wipe everything out.

I wonder if my 2 mandarins are keeping them in check, there have been posts on other forums that they may eat the flatworms as an appetizer...

How big is your tank? Adding a mandarin or a wrasse could help keep your tank flatworm free. Not all wrasses eat flatworms though, you would have to research. Don't buy a 6-line jerk though...they are the devil.

I wouldn't dose the tank as a prophylactic treatment, but I would have the Flatworm eXit to have on hand to dip new corals.

I already have a male and female mandarin in my 72g bow. Hoping that the male will dine on the flatworms as he is yet to be trained to eat frozen.

I already had a yellow tail damsel and that was enough attitude to last the rest of my reefing days so no more fishes that need to flex their muscles for me.

I guess Ill take the wait and see approach, I dont wanna crash the tank a month after upgrading...

Nah, leave it alone. Just start dipping incoming corals. Consider it a lesson learned (well hopefully you learned lol).
