    Use some flatworm exit to treat the system while their numbers are low enough to cause you no problem's with their die off that some carbon will not handle , More you allow to become in numbers the more toxins that will be released when they die .. Don't fall for all that natural predator stuff it seldom works other then to maybe keep them in lower numbers .
