Hello from Roanoke Virginia

[BairCorals]

Hello, new to r2r amd reef tanks. Been a fresh tank fan for a couple years and Feb of this year started my first reef. Working on a 10gal that I started up earlier this month. Current display is a 60 breeder that I've drilled, eclipse 1000gph overflow with 20 gal sump using the fiji cube baffle kit. Off brand return pump, filter socks, reef octo classic 110int skimmer, nero 3, sicce voyage, ai blade coral grow light, 3/4" returns with the 3d printed random flows. Mostly lps and softies but slowly getting into sps. Pair of clowns, cleaner wrasse, sapphire damsel (I think), and tomini tang. Run carbon and about to start gfo. No controller, just inkbird heater controller and ato made from float switches and a relay. Open to any and all info and insight as I'm still new. Greatly appreciate anyone who writes and will try to keep up to date with everyone!

Yeah... going through reef Flux for the bubble algea and it's almost done, once it's done then ill do a flatworm exit treatment and do a 50% water change and should be pest free once again

 

[I never finish anythi]

Welcome to r2r . Try and suck as many flatworms out before starting the treatment.

Yeah I was going to go through siphoning into a filter socks in a bucket and keep putting the water back until most are gone before treating then doing a 50% water change afterwords with lots of carbon

Good thinking. I think some flat worms give off a poison when they die so just be aware of that .

Yeah I did a good bit of reading before coming to this plan, really don't wanna lose anything during this process but the worms are getting out of control. They don't hurt anything unless they start covering corals but I'd like to have my tank back.
