I've used it in the past and it works very well. Just make sure you remove as many flatworms as you can BEFORE doing the treatment. The flatworms release toxins once they die, so the fewer flatworms that die in your tank the better. During the treatment use a powerhead to blow through all the crevices to get all the flatworms. If even just a couple survive the tank will be taken over again. I would actually recommend doing a bigger water change, say 50%. If your new water is properly mixed even a 100% water change will not stress out your fish and corals. Also, make sure to throw in a bag of carbon after the water change.
Good luck with it.

I've used it, and it works great. As Viper mentioned, get as many of them out of the tank as possible before treatment; I used a turkey baster for the job. Then as you see their dying little bodies floating through the water, get them out with the turkey baster as well.
Good luck!
