low dose Flatworm Exit

armswin · 07/19/2013, 10:16 PM

would under dosing Flatworm Exit over time slow down or reverse flatworm populations, without the risk of a massive die-off and toxins with the normal dose? I have a fear that I'm only seeing a fraction of the total population in my tank. has anyone tried this? any suggestions on dosage amounts and frequency?

Follow instruction in order to be effective. Too much is put on their die off toxic, if you remove them right after they die do a WC and run carbon you should be fine. Your goal is to kill them off with one shot if possible. Also this is why you have to try siphon out as much of live ones prior to treatment to reduce toxic level.

If the dosage is too weak base on your water volume, all you going to do is tickle them.

Follow instructions.

Suck out as many as you can for a few days then dose, massive water change after it does its job, then run carbon if you have it(I didn't run carbon and had no problems)
