Don't bother with the 6line. I tried that route, and even tho he was eating them.. it wasn't working.. trust me on this...

Syphon out as much as you can with a hose into a bucket... If you want to keep the sand you inadvertantly syphon out, rinse the sand in fresh dechlorinated water... alot.. it will kill the worms, but they release a toxin so you have to really really rinse it if you want to have any chance of using that sand in your tank again..

Syphon the worms for a few days.. 3-4 days until you are confident that you have gotten out as many of the flatworms out as possible.. then dose with Flatworm exit and be ready to do a serious water change
(right temp, right ph, right salinity, etc)... It really really works.. and anyone that says it killed their tank proabbly didn't syphon out enough flatworms before dosing.. Some say they needed to dose more... you may not need to.. you should see instant results..

Hence forth be sure to dip anything you get from a store or another person.. its' like STDs for your fish tank, love... gotta be careful what's out there..
