The most important factors are reducing the flatworms before commencing with the treatment and reducing the amount of the flatworm's body fluids released when they die as fast as possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not underestimate the number of flatworms in your system. In a few cases a significant number of flatworms can be hiding in for crevices. Blow water, with a powerhead or a turkey baster, in any crevice or hiding spot to flush out the flatworms. Siphon out those flatworms as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, do not underestimate the amount of toxic body fluids these flatworms can excrete. This can be reduced significantly by really siphoning out as many dead flatworms as you can. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny body fluids released 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 sufficient forced water flow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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 treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also wise to have at least  25% water ready for a water change if required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDosage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead all the above text before commencing with the treatment!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour drops for every 5 gallons. The dropper contains approx. 250 drops (10ml). The dropper cap holds approx. 50 drops. So 1 cap full is good for approx 65 gallons. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\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. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIt should work within 30 minutes. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIf within 45 minutes no visible death of flatworms occur, add 50% more. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAs soon as the flatworms start to die, commence with activated carbon to take out any toxic body fluids.
