Flatworm plague
Anybody know if mandarin fish are the best for getting rid of these little guys or if I should use a flatworm pesticide in my tank Suggestions?

Nope
I have yet to experience a manderine eat flat worms, could be wrong but I would suggest a 6-Line Wrasse.

Mandarins main diet is pod "larvae" which is why you need an established reef. I have heard of them eating other things but it's hit & miss so if you bought a mandarin to eat flat worms you would likely be disappointed.

I would second the six line wrasse. I've heard that it is the phsychedelic mandrin or spotted mandrin that sometimes eats them. It would though be advised to have a well established tank full of pods to keep one.

zeolites affected?
I've got much more extension today, still my milleporas aren't looking so good. My water doesn't stink anymore. Now i guess i just have to wait for colors to come back to my sps.
Do you think that my zeolites may have been affected from the treatment? I have continued with the dosing schedule hoping to bring back the color my corals used to have.

All Good
Everything is back to normal. Color and extension are coming right back now. My corals are still a little brown, but the zeovit system is doing its job.
Thanks for all the input!!

I had flatworms for the second time in 10 years. I was really very lazy this time. The first time I just kept sucking and blowing....they disappeared relatively quickly.
 Low and behold, I finally got down to doing that again.... Flatworms gone. Amen.

Thats what I did when I saw a few all gone now.
I sure would not want to kill all my pods. I heard that they will come and go. You just need to control them before they really get out of hand.
