Flatworms in QT

Jack312 · Sep 16, 2021

Hi
I've noticed I have small flatworms they are brown I colour with a red dot. Luckily it is in my qt tank. I have dosed flatworm rx multiple times but I can still see a few hanging around. What's the best approach to making sure I don't transfer any when I put the corals into my display?

With it being a qt, I would drain it and wash it out. Don't take any chances.

I wouldn't waste a single cent on any chemical treatment at all. It's a QT. Drain it, sterilize any rocks you might have in it. Allow it all to dry, and try again.

FWIW - The only time my QT is even set up is when I know I'm going to be bringing something home from the LFS, and it is torn down as soon as the QT is completed.
