Sorry 'bout all your fish, Jim. I feel the same way about some of these products. You can use it once and have it work just perfectly with no adverse impact. At some point the treatment is needed again, you assume it will work as it did before, and all of a sudden you have a significant problem. I have come to believe that any "quick fix" additive should only be used as last resort and with extreme caution.
Unless someone has another remedy, I've no choice. My tank is to small for any type of natural predator.

Yeah I agree...but had tried everything I could think of to deal with the flat worms...including just leaving them alone. But their numbers had reached epic proportions and were tormenting some of the corals...not because I think they were eating them, but because they were covering them up they were so thick.
I'm not sure if it is the worms or the FWE that killed the fish. I have heard it is the worms dying and releasing "a toxin"....rather than the FWE directly killing them.
Either way, I think I will treat again tonight or tomorrow just to be sure I got them all this time. Not as much to lose this time around anyways.
You're right - It's not the FWE directly but rather a toxin given off by the dying flat worms. Just be ready with lots of GAC and a large water change.Originally Posted by jimsflies
