I understand why some reefers suddenly give up and sell!

There's a product called Dutch master and I used to work for the company and penetrator was one of the products used to grow the plants but that's another day, anyhow um did you remove your shrimp when intercepting, have you dipped your corals yet aswell as scraped and check colonies?

fwe hurts everything I mentioned up in my post, you should try to pick up the remaining snails during treatment they will be doing the salsa dance.
But before you even think about starting treatment pick as many snails out do it just after the lights go off they're easier to catch.

What snails does FWE kill?? I dosed my 2 small tanks twice using 1 bottle for each tank (3x stronger then called for each time) the only thing I lost was my peppermint shrimp (It didn't even get the flatworms ). I have ceriths,stomatellas and astreas in the tanks and they seemed to make out just fine

Are you saying it did NOT kill the flat worms?

Well I still have them, so i guess not

I used half a bottle in each tank, the 50g zoa tank and the 60g cube. A week later they were still there so I treated again. The second time round I didn't do a water change till the next day . I thought that had done the trick but i noticed some a couple of weeks ago.

Marie i'm sorry to hear you have not fully erradicate them keep on trying, the eggs may have been missed in treatment!As for snails stommatelles were doing the salsa dance ARIBA!

Stircrazy yes I probally nuked my rock but not everything died and what did I treat for you ask? I used fwe i think it's pretty self explanatory.

some people may be mistaken that 1 treatment kills all fw's but how about if there's eggs everywhere? the only sure way is to follow up with the treatments.

I had these flatworms, FWE does not kill them. I had to individually treat each piece repeatedly with iodine dips to get rid of them. Some pieces were so infested with eggs, I tossed them out. These things are a real pain in the butt.
My new policy is that no SPS goes in my tank without dips and a visual inspection under a dissecting microscope.
