Flatworm Exit and Pods

Michael · 02-26-2006, 06:44 PM

I finally obtained some Flatworm Exit to deal with my Flatworm outbreak. One concern before I treat. I am just starting to get a nice colony of pods in my reef . Does anyone know if the Flatworm Exit will harm them.

Thanks

It shouldn't. It didn't harm my shrimp (three species), crabs (emerald and hermits), and amphipods. "Pods" (amphipods and copepods) are crustaceans like crabs and shrimp. They should be just fine as long as you follow the directions - have your charcoal ready (pre-soak it in tank water for 24 hours so the water can get into all the pockets).
