flat worms

[xtreme_1.8]

What is the best method of getting rid of these stupid flatworms, I purchased a blue mushroom rock from this website and when it got here there were only a few flatworms, now they are overrunning my tank, and inverts or fish that eat them, I used to have a six line until it jumped and he never picked at the stupid things.

I would syphon out as many of thr flatworms as you can with a turkey baster. Use a brine shrimp net to squirt the water / worms in the turkey baster to filterout the worms and return water to tank unless you have makeup water on hand, and then treat with Salifert Flatworm Exit. Follow directions on xontainer and have all the recomended items on hand before starting the treatment........(water change water, activated carbon etc etc) Its safe to use this treatment if yu do it correctly.
On a side note. I did come up with a home brew for flatworms that works as effectively as Saliferts, and is dirt cheap. I have experimented with it a few times with good results and no problems. Still want to work with it a bit more until I decide what to do in terms of saying what it is etc.
