Chamberless sump sounds like fancy speak for using an old fish tank for a sump. That would be me for the last 12 years! I do surround my return pump with rock to act as a bit of a baffle.

Kalk paste maybe? Or cover them with patches of epoxy until they die. Then pull/peel the putty off. Then epoxy up the ones you missed and repeat until you're happy.

+2

Their numbers will reduce over time if you start feeding less. Don't try to manually remove them. You'll only add stress to your life.

Yes there is. 8 years 6 months (102 months). That is the fad to mainstream cutoff. Some say only 96 months, but that's a whole other argument.

Doesn't look like a flatworm to me. My vote would be to just leave them alone. You'll probably do more damage to the rest of your inhabitants than good trying to nuke them, especially in such a small...
