Salifert really needs to change the dosage on the box of Flatworm Exit, if people follow those directions they'll end up using it forever while flatworms take over their tank.

If the tank is big enough a filefish, nudibranch or damsel variety known to eat them is a much better choice as they actively seek out the flatworms as a food source.
I haz reef tanks.

Yes but they are playing it carefully as some have had serious bleaching events when using more ... so I guess it is a way to cover themselves ..

Just saying ...
