Salifert Flatworm Exit

Salifert Flatworm Exit removes flatworms effectively, starting to work within thirty minutes when dosed in a high-flow area of the tank.

• The flatworm exit is effective in removing flatworms.
• The flatworm exit will start to work in thirty minutes.
• Add the flatworm exit to the high flow area of the tank for maximum results.

• Salifert Flatworm Exit works on reef aquariums that have flatworm issues.  Flatworms can consume corals and are usually found when new corals are introduced to the tank.
• When using Flatworm Exit it is necessary to follow the directions, as flatworms can produce a toxin in your aquarium after the treatment.  Multiple treatments may be necessary as well.
• Salifert Flatworm Exit is completely Reef Safe.
• Salifert Flatworm Exit treats up to 300 gallons (1200 L) of water.

What's in the Box

One dropper bottle, 10 ml, containing approximately 300 drops. Salifert also state the dropper cap holds about 90 drops, so one capful treats 360 litres / 90 US gallons.

At Salifert's rate of 1 drop per 4 litres / 1 gallon, the bottle covers about 1,200 litres / 300 gallons of treatment in total.

What is not in the box, and what you must have ready before you open it. Salifert are explicit that the preparation matters more than the product, because it is the flatworms' body fluids — released as they die — that can harm a reef, not the treatment itself. Have all of this to hand first:

• Fresh, high-quality activated carbon — about 1 lb per 50 US gallons (roughly 450 g per 190 litres), and a canister or reactor with enough forced flow through it. This is what pulls the toxins out once the flatworms start dying.
• A siphon, to remove as many flatworms as possible before dosing, and to remove the dead ones during.
• A powerhead or turkey baster, to blow out crevices and other hiding places first — Salifert warn against underestimating how many are hidden.
• At least 25% of the tank volume as prepared water, ready for a change if it is needed.

Before dosing: turn off UV and ozone and remove the activated carbon from the system; leave the skimmer running. Turn UV or ozone back on after an hour or so. Dose into a high-flow area. Allow yourself the time to watch the tank for at least six hours afterwards — Salifert's own instruction is not to do this in a hurry.

Keep out of the reach of children. For aquarium hobby use only.
