Man! I'm sooo nervous about using Flatworm Exit. Not cause of the product, but an undetermined amount of worms I may or may not have. I've been 2x/day siphoning any worms I can see. I don't think the infestation is to large. Than again, I'm not sure till I treat the tank.

Flatworm Exit is a great product! I had a terrible infestation of flat worms myself. I nuked them several times before I realized what to do. The last time I doubled the suggested strength and then 4 days later I treated it again the same way. The first treatment will not get all of them - there will be some in the sand, some will not have hatched yet, maybe one or two in a very low current area. My tank is now, and has been for flatworm free for over 5 months. Make sure you siphon off all that you can and have some bags of carbon to put in your sump to remove the toxins from the death of the flatworms. One little note: At that strength level, you WILL get rid of several bristle worms too as I encountered this myself.
