Never used it but probably won't work on the eggs. Multiple treatments are needed.

Let's see who has used it.

No. It does NOT work at all, sorry. None of the in tank treatments work in my experience. And believe me I tried. Rip & dip in potassium chloride weekly. Then add 6-12 lines, Springeri damsels and peppermint shrimp for the eggs.

I’ve not heard of peppermint shrimp eating the eggs. I will have to give this a try…

Takes a certain kind...and a lot of them. Ypu can pull out all the acros and dip once a week for like 8-10 weeks. Or ypu can try the drain tank below any acros, spray with a kcl solution...leave for 15-20 minutes and then refill tank. I've heard the drain and spray takes 3 or 4 times at once per week

Flatworm Exit works great. I’ve never used what you linked. I got my AEFW from a vendor here in the last 6 months so I have recent experience using it.

Man I’m hoping it won’t come down to it, but I may have to try the kcl spray if my other acros get infected. They’re all encrusted on the rocks so I can really pull them out. How do you make the kcl solution?

I didn’t even think about this! Wondering if treating with this every once in a while helps rid of them for good

The brightwells potassion powder at like 2 grams per 1000ml sw. There's some videos on it and information but you would have to research on it to see how you wanted to proceed. I think some people use another kcl for it but not sure

I just double the dose roughly. Soon as they start dying stop adding drops. Wait 5 minutes and then do a water change. Add fresh carbon and a skimmer and you’ll be good.

Praziquantel 50mg/l.
Not fish safe at this level.
1hr duration.
2 treatments minimum 10 day interval.
Acros tolerate well. other sps, not as well.
Lps seem ok with treatment.
Inverts tolerate but don't like it.
