Probably get some more tomorrow. Took those at 7:30 right before I left after a long day.

 

[Ambrosio Aquatics]

nice. i gotta get over and see your tank

 

[MuralReef]

I have my planning from 1:30-2:30. After wrestling season ends on the 16th I'll be free after 2:30 most days also.

The pictures are great, having seen the tank in person I can say they don't do it justice, but still nice.

I need to bring in my camera. I know the iPhone can take good pics I just haven't figured out how!

I sold it. He was planning on using it as a sump. There were a variety of pieces laminated on the top so it would have needed to be cut to replace the top. Plus I got it for free from a friend and it would have needed to be buffed to remove the scratches. I still have the steel stand though.

You have a marble wrasse in there? Awesome, one of my favorite fish of all times, I have one too!

Yup. I got it at the same time as the yellow coris wrasse. None of them have touched the red flatworms even the melanarus wrasse. But they also don't eat any of my shrimp.

Feed less

My wrasses stopped hunting for food when I made sure everyone in the tank was nice and plump. After cutting back on feedings, my 2 wrasses swim side by side most of the day looking for micro fauna.

Not a guaranteed solution...but the flatworms are feeding on something. Either way, cutting back on feedings could help reduce their numbers.

Just worried if I feed less they will eat my shrimp and not the worms.

 

[jahmic]

Lol. Valid point. My red velvet fairy probably killed my cleaner wrasse as a result of cutting back on feedings.

Once the Naso is a little more settled in I will probably run some Flatworm Exit after I have repeatedly cleaned them out. I sucked a lot out through filter socks a couple of times last week and they are a lot better but I don't want as many when I add that.

+1. I had the same problem for a while, dialed back the amount i was feeding at once and it triggered the wrasses to do more forriging (sp?) The marble wrasse and leapord pair swim together and pick at the rocks. Ihavnt seen a flat worm in a while. My rainbow rock wrasse is a loaner though, but no fighting between the 4 in a 75 gallon. Im pretty happy with that.

 

[MuralReef]

So how much should I dial it back. I feed frozen twice daily M-F and pellets and nori once a day. Weekends is only pellets and nori 3 times a day.

 

[ReefCheif]

I would feed at the same times, but I would cut back the amount your feeding each time. Start with like 10% less and see if that makes a difference.

 

[Ambrosio Aquatics]

just toss in a few Chrysiptera springeri they should take care of those little pest. or a Pseudocheilinus evanidus

 

[MuralReef]

So I now have 2-3 more treatments to get rid of my red flatworm problem.
