Is this a flatworm?

Whether they're "harmless" or "easy to eradicate," I don't want those in my tank no matter what. I will definitely put in the manual labor before I add chemicals to the tank... Some people just don't want to get off the couch sometimes... Magic potion? Perhaps... GL.

I run everything as normal during the use of FWE (except for the removal of carbon, this needs to be offline)
This is not like chemiclean where you run into equipment issues

Also, does that mean no water change right after I dose? Do I wait two days to change the water?

Thats what I do is create "magic potions" lol
Now really in a heavily populated flatworm tank I would never suggest using FWE the chance of septic toxicity is to large.
I have spent a few years now studying these guys, how they live, how the reproduce, and what they eat.
I would not blame a single aquarist for wanting to rid of flatworm
Who wants to accept coral from a flatworm tank anyways?
A species only take is best to keep flatworm

Whatevers clever trever... I might be able to create the same results with half the effort though... Don't ever forget that... (like chess) GL.

if i went back in time to when i knew i only could see 4 flatworm in my tank.....knowing what i know ...and have now.....i would have blasted them without a second thought.
i now have thousands that i can see and loads more that i cant. at present i am trying to get a few blue velvet nudi's as these are the only things that will 100% munch down on these guys.

here are some pics of what i have in my tank......

these guys will multiply to plague proportions ....trust me...i know

Twilliard, you like my post. Does that mean that is right?

Yes you are correct

The thing about FWE is there is no effort involved

I remove the carbon while dosing right?

I am soooooooooo sorry. I had only one polyclad chew through a bunch of my coral, I lost all my snails twice, and eventually had to break down my hardscape and rinse with coral revive.

Yes carbon will take the med out

Before you add any chemicals to the tank you might want to get yourself some airline tubing and remove what you can manually first.

+1, if you don't then all of those dead worms will pollute your water biology!
