Jon Lazar August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 Whether you use FWE or not, you can greatly reduce their population by siphoning them out. The best way I've found is to put a filter sock in the sump, and run your siphon hose from the display tank into the filter sock. Think of it as an extra overflow. That way you can siphon all day long without draining your tank. Works great for hair algae too. How do I get rid of them...

Brian Ward August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 If they're regular flatworms, then flatwork exit works great. siphon out as many as possible, prep PLENTY of carbon, and then treat the tank. You'll see them shrivel up and float into the water column, your filtration should help out here, but feel free to keep siphoning. When they die, they release toxins, so when you see the number of dead worms start to get high, put in the new carbon to pull out the impurities. I did it successfully with minimal losses.
