Hello everyone. Currently building bigger tank and planing to run it soon. So question is, I have nano tank and I have flatworms in there. I have a lots of marinepure biospheres in AIO sump, I want to transfer more of them in new tanks sump to help cycling. But I don't want to transfer a flatworms too, so how should i do? Some suggestions will be appreciated?

Siphon out as many of those flatworms as you can, because when flatworms die they become toxic; watch link I re-found and pasted below. Treat your tank with Salifert Flatworm eXit

Rinse/soak biospheres with with Salifert Flatworm eXit

Each box has 10 capsules, which treats 10 gallons each, so you can do more than treatment. I did two spaced two weeks apart. Could never find info on recommendations if two two weeks apart was sufficient. I have an old grandpa 6 line wrasse, so IF I had any he'd be keeping them in check and skewing my findings...

Clarity:
Each box has a VIAL inside and you use drops..... Sorry, been up all night.... When you watch video, you'll see they recommend doing more drops than directions on box (which are not clear) recommend... but given your tank size one box is likely all you need for two treatments.

My 180g went thru 3 boxes aka 3 little bottles for my two treatments. I had some leftovers in 3rd bottle, which I saved in case I ever need another treatment
