The most important factors are reducing the number of flatworms before commencing with the treatment and reducing the amount of the flatworm’s body \u003c\/span\u003efluids\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, released when they die, as fast as possible.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDo not underestimate the number of flatworms in your system. In a few cases a significant number of flatworms can be hiding in for example crevices. Blow in such and any other potential hiding places water to blow any flatworm out of there. For that purpose you can use a powerhead or a turkey baster. Siphon out those flatworms as well.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFurthermore do not underestimate the amount of toxic body\u003c\/span\u003e fluids\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e these flatworms can excrete. This can be reduced significantly by really siphoning out the flatworms before commencing with the treatment. Further significant reduction is accomplished by siphoning out as many dead flatworms as you can.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAny body \u003c\/span\u003efluids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereleased by the dead flatworms in the water has to be reduced further by using about 1 pound of fresh high quality carbon for every 50 gallons. The carbon has to be used in a canister with a sufficient forced water flow.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTake sufficient time for treating the tank. That is, do not treat your tank in a hurry. Also take time to monitor your tank for at least 6 hours after the treatment.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is also wise to have at least 25% water ready for a water change if required.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDosage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRead all the above text before commencing with the treatment!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 1 drop for every 4 liters or 1 gallon.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe dropper contains approx. 300 drops (10 ml). The dropper cap holds approx. 90 drops.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo 1 cap full is good for 360 liters or 90 gallons.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdd it in a high flow area of the tank. If you want to treat a refugium only and if it’s volume is too small for using a powerhead then mixing should be done manually.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- It should start to work within 30 minutes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- If within 45 minutes no visible death of flatworms occurs add 50% more.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- As soon as the flatworms start to die commence with the activated carbon to take out any toxic body \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efluids\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.
