raeh1 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 There must be a natural way that they are kept in order in nature. There must be a natural preditor, something must EAT them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 There must be a natural way that they are kept in order in nature. There must be a natural preditor, something must EAT them. Of course they have lots of known predators, however few are kept in reef aquairums as they are unsuitable for the reef aquairums. We have the same problems with algae, cyno and aipstasia.

PC100 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Not sure, I know PC100 had fish loss after using it which he attributed to lots of dieing worms. Don't know where you heard it from Pies but I've never used Flatworm Exit and had no fish losses. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone from Auckland that ocasionaly posts on this forum having problems and for some reason thought it was you. If it wasn't you then who was it?

skuzza Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thanks guys.I cant take any frags as i have seemed to kill the bio side as well.The tank looks like i just chucked in some dead coral rock and spead it round a bit. (except for the nice green grass growing on everything.Yeh right.) I have recovered from my depression stage and will drain the tank in a few months when the rock livens up a bit and drill some more holes in the bottom.Thanks again for the frag offering and support. I will post pics of the rebuild as i have lots of things i want to fine tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I'd have thought you might as well do it now. Can't really do much more damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 well im half way through my flatworm extermination campain, i dosed the recommended amount and put on the carbon once i saw the flat worms floating, then whammo brown water, i had 20 litres ready so i put that in, thats about 35% of the total water volume, the skimmer went knuts and took out a little bit of the gunk, for fear of loosing al my stock i did another 20 litres and then another and i think i did another one after that too. its all a blur now, just incase im ready to do another. remember when the buying stops the killing can too.

reef Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Since you tank is small i would have put the fish and corals in a bucket and then treated the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 i would have have to break most of my stoniesoff as they have grown onto the rock now. the acros are looking a grumpy (very grumpy) the fish is fine and the gorgonian doesnt seem to care at all. hopefully things will pull though with the extra water changes that i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I think the little orange thing this tubeworm has grabbed is a flatworm. Good wormy! :lol: Anyone know what these particular types of tube worms are called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
