Anyone remember that one guys' Levasole Flatworm Kill Recipe?

Taqpol · 08/27/2009, 09:28 PM

The search function was actually available tonight, but after searching every permutation of the title I could think up it always said no results.

I think it was called "Total System Flatworm(Planaria?) Levasole Kill Recipe", and in it the author talked about where and how he got the Levasole, how he measured it, how he dosed it into his main tank, and a bunch of various tests showing that it didn't harm beneficial organisms.

Does anyone remember this thread? More importantly, does anyone know where I can order some levasole from?

Thank you! Did you search for it or did you have it bookmarked already? If so, what did you search?

I went to Tractor Supply's website and had trouble finding levasole, does anyone know if people still sell it?

go to www.reefcentral.com home page > search tools > and just type in what you want. it comes back with pretty much everything, wont be as specific as you want the search to be. You could try using booleans to see if it helps

Does anyone know of a place to get levasole online? I heard rumors that it is being pulled off the market because it is in phase 3 trials for human uses...

Why not just use Flatworm Exit ?

Flatworm exit is significantly more expensive, didn't work all that well in a friends tank, and most importantly, none of my local fish stores carry it.

The thread above is very detailed and has an almost 100% success rate.

Levasole is bad for your reef; I would never suggest you treat your entire tank with it. Dips and qt treatments are best. There are many people who struggle to keep corals alive and happy after their FW treatments.
