you can get rid of flatworms by increasing flow and decreasing nutrients. phytoplankton needs nutrients as well as light to reproduce. lower your nutrients, then your phyto dies off, the flatworms eat phyto so if theres no phyto left, the flatwroms die.
and flatworms dont like flow.

Not a debate -- I lost a bunch of Acro - doubled dosed and had to treat twice nearly back to back. Knock on wood have seen any, but there is't much left to eat -

i was just informing you that flatworm exit doesnt kill aefw, it may kill a few of them but will not kill all of them. thats why its better to use something like TMPCC or lugols dip.
interceptor is for the red bugs.

whoa, gone for an hour or so and look what happens. If I go the flatworm exit route, do you recommend sitiing it in a quaratine tank for a while? One problem is that one of the pieces won't fit into my 55? Is there a brand that you recommend? Is the treatment called flatworm exit? These are really nice show tank pieces of rock and I would love to have them.

You don't have to worry about flatworms and live rock until you actually have a running tank to put it in... get to work!
