This was a hard video to make. I made a mistake using Flatworm Exit and killed my tang. Learn from my mistake and make sure to use FRESH carbon. I gotta keep it real and show my successes and failures. I hope this helps others.

It is important to see failures. We learn from mistakes. I hate guys that boast all their successes and they hide all of their failures. Many thanks for this video.

I’ve been siphoning them out, I just started to dip corals. I have a shit load of them, what I’ve seen people say to do is siphon out the worms when you see them float “you didn’t have many so you probably couldn’t see them”
I plan on adding a but load of new carbon in a hob filter for when they die

Thank you for taking the time to help other people. I just want to say that I saw all my fish died one by one when I put old carbon that dried up for few days. I learn the hard way that the carbon once dried up will release all the toxic compounds filtered before. I transfered my fish in another tank but the dammage was already done. They all show signs of intense breathing, like their gills were unable to do the job anymore. This is very lethal, the died in just few minutes.
I hope this makes sense to you, always put new carbon!
Good luck with the bloody worms, I also need to do a treatment but there is only few of them for now, hopfully all will go well...

A snow globe! Tis the season. 😁. I’m not a fish disease expert, but my first hint that it may have been an intestinal parasite since the stomach was extended and it was emaciated. Sorry for the loss. It sucks to loose a fish.

I Tried to save a hermit crab infected with some sort of flatworms by getting the hermit out of its shell and physically removing all flukes attached to the crabs body. The hermit crab was fine in a small container with calcium powder sand for 2 days, but 2 hours I put it in the main tank I find the crab with its guts busted open and flatworms all over the tank... I feel you pain man.

it's definitely exit... I just murdered around 200 fish in my 4 footer today... I'm devastated, followed Instructions to a T .. over 120 guppies and around 40 plecos... dead! only some shrimp and some planaria still alive.. be careful and remove all fish prior to treatment!!!
