Jamie, In my pretty full 55g LPS/Softie tank I'm running a 16-20x flow rate, which I already thought was about at the limits ( thought that too much flow would stress them ). I guess I'll pick up another PH or two and start experimenting with some new flow pattern's. I regularily clean the skimmer and have very little to no detritus build up on my rock. So I'll pick up a couple smaller Maxi-jets to take care of the bottom water column. I just full throttled my other pumps to about 20-24x turn over.
When I do syphon them once and let them regroup and syphon again, it takes about 3 weeks to get there numbers up to what there were. Maybe I'm just a little picky but there numbers are not in the thousands, but maybe a few hundred.
Marc, syphoning them everyday like Dale is outta the question (really long work days for me :x ) ...maybe. I do feel i have them in check... but I'd rather eliminate them or get them to where they are almost unoticable like my Sump/Ref. I think this running a much higher flow rate will work, once I find the right flow rate/pattern
.
Thank you both for your help. This is the best advice I've read on Flatworms, even better than all the threads I've read on RC.
