I had a planaria outbreak a couple of weeks ago in a 14 gallon nano. I followed the instructions on the Flatworm exit which included siphoning out as many planaria as possible and I used the recommended dosage. The dosage seemed to be fine since I haven't seen any planaria since. I also followed up with some charcoal and a water change a few hours after treatment. I didn't experience any losses of livestock and I still have spaghetti worms in my sand. I think using the Flatworm exit soon after I noticed the outbreak prevented the population from exploding so there was less toxin produced to deal with in the end.

about 6 years ago i had a really horrible outbreak in my 145 gallon reef it was infested!
i got a whip tail fairy wrasse. He ate them all in about a month. I think they are a good fish to use for control and they are reef safe. i didn't have to syphon or add chemicals

I treated my 200 gal SPS tank with Salifert eXit today. Prior to adding the eXit I siphoned out as many flatworms as I could find. I then threw 1.5 liters of carbon into a fresh 100 micron filter bag than all my return runs into in my sump and refilled my Phosban 150 with carbon to the max. I gradually added a whole bottle of eXit, good for up to 300 gal according to the instructions, into the tank. Flatworms began to die immediately and I spent the next two hours collecting them with a net.
All in all there were hundreds of dead flatworms collected. None of my livestock, fish, snails, shrimp and crabs or my SPS or LPS seemed to suffer. I am happy and relieved. I plan to treat the tank again next weekend just to be safe.
