    I treated my tank today with Flatworm Exit. Stuff works wonders. However it's now been 5 hours since treatment. I've already ran carbon for 4+ hours. Have done 5g water change.

    Here's my concerns. In the last hour I've pulled out 10 dying/dead bristle worms. Anyone know if it's the FW Exit that's doing it?

    It might be directly or from the bristle worms eating the dead flat worms.

    I have no bristleworms since doing FWE over a year ago. I had a ton, I really need to get some more.
