The Salifert Flatworm eXit Aquarium Treatment is the best and one of the only ways to rid a tank of flatworms. Salifert Flatworm eXit can be used on marine systems that house coral and invertebrates without the fear of hurting your tank's livestock, as the formula specifically targets the worms' internal structure and nothing else.
To ensure the safety of your reef and the success of the treatment, it is important to perform the following steps before dosing:
Manual Removal: Siphon out as many flatworms as possible to reduce the amount of toxins released during treatment.
Carbon Preparation: Keep sufficient fresh activated carbon in a canister ready for immediate use after treatment.
Equipment Adjustment: Turn off UV and ozone, and remove existing activated carbon.
Skimmer: Keep the protein skimmer turned on throughout the process.
Will this treatment harm my corals or fish? No, the formula is specifically designed to target the internal structure of flatworms only, making it reef-safe for invertebrates and corals.
Why must I siphon the flatworms first? When flatworms die, they release toxins. Siphoning as many as possible beforehand minimizes the toxic load on your aquarium.
Do I need to turn off my filtration? You should turn off UV, ozone, and remove carbon, but it is essential to keep your skimmer running to maintain oxygenation.
High-Quality Activated Carbon: Essential for the post-treatment phase to absorb released flatworm toxins.
