How long should carbon be run after using flatworm exit. atm i have about an 80% water change and carbon running. 1 hour? day?week? it does not say on the box. hoping to hear from someone with experience with this.
btw this stuff works! killed em all in about 5 mins. spent about six hours just siphoning the dead ones out that i had previously missed. whole process for my 10gal. took about 11 hours. its been a long day. I Didn't realized how bad they really had taken over.
Got my tank back! just got the recovery time now

ok have been runing carbon for about 24hrs now. can it hurt my tank if it goes to long?
After 24 hours carbon loses it's effectiveness in Saltwater. Leaving it in won't really harm anything but I suggest removing it. If you're uneasy about not having carbon then replace it with a fresh batch.

thanks for the help. if anyone is wondering everything appears to still be doing well. my fish is still showing signs of stress but he's still eating and swimming
