We just did the treatment. Started out doing the recommended amount of drops for my tank's volume. It just made the flatworms start moving around. I had never seen them move. Pretty cool. Waited about half an hour. They were still just jetting around, not dying. So I added more Flatworm Control. No response. Wait 30 minutes. Add more. Repeat until the ENTIRE BOTTLE is gone (which is enough to treat 400 gallons, it says). My tank is only 90 gallons. And I turned off the sump and everything, so there was less than 90 gallons in the tank. Those effers still weren't dying.
Got frustrated and started sucking the live ones up that I could see with a turkey baster. After over an hour, they still weren't dying. So I grabbed the rock that they were concentrated on and did a freshwater dip. Flatworms galore in the bucket when I did that.
I guess I could have just done that from the start.
After waiting over an hour and a half, I just said "Screw this," did a 25% water change as originally planned, and started up the canister filter with carbon.
Still, no flatworms on the substrate, and none in the water. Where did they all go? Are these mutant flatworms? Resistant to modern reefing medications?
So NDB started cleaning the stand. And said "You know there's a leak in this back corner?"
OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!
Sure enough, it appears the tank is leaking. I can't see the bottom of the tank through my stand, because the tank is resting on a solid board that spans the top of the stand. So I can't get a view if it's leaking from the bottom...
We dry up the water and spray some canned air into the area to dry it out. Repeat process, repeat process, until it appears dry and there's no more water coming out. Now I just have to watch it for the rest of the night to see if it continues leaking. I thought maybe I splashed some water over the edge of the tank and now it's seeping down the side of the stand? Hopefully that's it. This was a BRAND SPANKING NEW tank and stand that I only got about 5 months ago. And I paid A LOT for it. Like, $700 a lot.
If this tank is leaking, then I might go all nutzoid and who knows what will happen...
Oh god. Sometimes I hate this hobby.
