I understand why some reefers suddenly give up and sell!
This is another little rant for me...sorry!
I treated a few months ago for red bugs in my 150g reef...no biggie, pretty easy to deal with. Now, I have Acro Eating Flatworms  ....life can get no worse. Anyone have any experience with dealing with them? I have contacted a few guys on RC to get their input...a softy tank sounds pretty good to me right now!

A few things I've read:
1) Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure 2) Levimasole Hydrochloride - a treatment some people use on AEFW with success in their reef tanks (and can be found at feed stores, apparently) 3) The Chelidonura varians nudibranches, which apparently exclusively eat flatworms. Not sure how available they are here/there, though? One thing to mention is that, in my short reading on the subject, everyone seems to be saying the same thing: none of the treatments get rid of the eggs. Those need to be manually removed/scraped off. This sucks...sorry  But good luck.
