Salifert Flatworm eXit treatment

Managing a Flatworm Die-Off: A Guide to Salifert Flatworm eXit

Flatworms multiply fast in a reef tank and release toxins when they die en masse - Flatworm eXit treats the infestation while managing that die-off risk with the right response.

Why Flatworm Die-Off Needs Management

Flatworm eXit is safe for fish and invertebrates directly, but flatworms release body fluids as they die that can affect water quality in a heavily infested tank, especially with a large population dying off at once.

What Flatworm eXit Offers

  • Effective treatment for flatworm infestations in reef tanks.
  • Safe for fish and invertebrates at the treatment level itself.
  • A targeted solution for a pest that's difficult to remove manually given how fast flatworms reproduce.

How to Use It

  • Increase surface agitation and run carbon after treatment to help manage the die-off byproducts.
  • Consider a partial water change after treatment in heavily infested tanks to remove released toxins.
  • Monitor closely during and after treatment, since a large die-off can stress sensitive livestock even with a fish and invertebrate-safe product.
