Salifert Flatworm Exit users

I've used this twice in my 30 gallon tank. Both times, flatworms started dying immediately. I followed the instructions closely and started the carbon as instructed, as soon as "you see flatworms dying," which only takes a couple minutes. After a few days, i start seeing them again. does the carbon remove the the deadly body juice and the flatworm exit? should i wait longer to put the carbon in? i've seen no adverse reactions, it just doesn't seem to get them all. by the way, i've got the brown ones with the little red tail. also, i used 27 drops the first time and 34 the next (30 gallon tank). should i just go with about 45 drops next time? any experiences are much appreciated.

I used it a while ago and can't remeber how I dosed but I think it was double the recommended dosage. Never seen any flatworms since.

The 1st i used it the worms started dying quick, i used the carbon and still did a 20% w/c...I noticed the worms were not all gone so a week later i doced it again...this time i ran the carbon and did a a 10% w/c.....the morning after the 2nd doce i noticed 2 of my fish were dead....i checked all my levels and all were fine except the ph....the ph level dropped really low...i did another w/c and got my ph back up and all is fine and all the flat worms are gone....the product is great just follow the instructions and monitor the water levels for atleast 24 hrs following the doce....

I did a 1.5 dose. First sucked out alot, then did the recomended dose. They started to dye, and then added the .5 dose. Waited 10/15 mins and added carbon and did a WC.
Well it all looked nice for a couple days.:rolleyes: But, I noticed the small ones in the refuge. Just tiny ones like eggs hatched or something. Well I was :mad: .
So, I only had a 1.25 dose left and wasn't going back to the store to waste more money. I added it to the tank. I never added carbon this time or did a WC. Low and behold, I haven't seen any sinse nor did I lose ant live stock. That was prolly 5 months ago.
I prolly still have traces of FWE in the tank.
