I'm into month four and I'm still flatworm free.

I've got some levamisole leftover if you want to try it. PM me if your are interested.

Last time I checked with Wendell a couple months ago at OA they had it. Try PMing him instead.

I saw a really dusty box of FWE sitting in the clearance bin at BA in Richmond last week.

But I'd give the levamisole a go first especially if Chin still has some around.

THE REEF SHOPPE has SALIFERT Flatworm Exit in stock. Check it out here:

Ocean Aquatics had a few boxes of Flatworm Exit in there last weekend even though they're not listed on their website.

I have an unused box I will sell to you.

Thanks guys for all the information,
I went down to Richmond today to check out Big Als there
They do have that box of flatworm exit! however, it is expired.. :(
and the bottle looked like the chemical or whatevers inside, has stained the bottle like rust lol
I couldn't risk my whole tank for just that so I decided to consider Chin_Lee's advice.

Again, greatly appreciate all the information given,
I will have to do a little bit of research on levamisole and make up my mind to which way i wanna go.

BTW, how about the velvet nudi?? J&L's site mentioned them known to clean flat worms though im not sure if it'll survive in my tank before it cleans out all flatworms hehe

I got one of those to take care of my flat worms. Did a great job, but they are only good to eradicate most not all flatworms when you have thousands.
I still have a few left and my Headshield is long gone, but my Coris wrasse is finishing off what is left.
If you don't have too many just get a Wrasse to take care of them.
I read that usually they stay in populations of only a few, but can multiply to problem prepositions if conditions are right for them.
So having some is not really a problem as long as they are the none acro eating type.
I try to stay away from any chemicals as I believe that it is not as selective as just killing off what is says on the box.

+1 The same thing I was about to say. The nudibranch requires A LOT of flatworms and will quickly eat 95% of them and then starve if its not moved to another flatworm infested system. Try a yellow Coris wrasse if you only have a few, one worked very well for me in my 50gal.
