Tank take over :(

[peat12001]

does anyone know how to get rid of Planaria aka Rust Brown Flatworms?

they have taken over my tank and i want it back

There is something called Flatworm Exit that will kill them. but I personally advise against using it since these worms are toxic upon death. this is all you can do. siphon as many out upon water changes, increase flow and increase skimming . good luck

You have too many organics in your tank. I had the same thing happen to me. I had about 40ppm nitrates and to take care of the high nitrates I cut back from feeding 2 times per day to 1. My nitrates are now 0 and my flatworms are also all gone. I tried flatworm exit 3 times and it killed most of the worms, but they always came back. Also flatworm exit takes it toll on your livestock. It took about 3-4 weeks for the flatworms to die off. I'd try this first before doing the flatworm exit.

Try an arrow crab, it would be a natural cure.......
