No-Planaria

garfieldnfish · 07-09-2012, 09:52 PM

I did not have any adult mystery snails in this tank. Only MTSs and mini ramshorns. Once I washed the gravel the first time I added some new MTSs and a couple of baby mystery snails. All died. After the second complete gravel wash MTSs survived but again some of the baby mystery snails died, but I am not sure if no-planaria was to blame for that or if they would have died anyway. I currently keep daphnia and MTSs in the tank and planaria have made a come back but in small numbers. The snails are fine as well.

sorry to hijack the thread but seeing it is about no-planaria i felt it would better than to start another thread.....i was about to buy some but wanted to find out how much do you dose in a 125gal aquarium? is it economical on a large tank or is there a better product?

its a 3 days dosage

Day 1 - 1 scoop for per 13g
Day 2 - .50 scoop per 13g
Day 3- .25 scoop per 13g

So you'll need about 16-17 scoop for your 125g.
its a 50g bag I dont know many grams one scoop is.

But no more planaria right?

Yupyup. There's a few ponds, but they were effectively decimated. I see an MTS or two but they were both practically mowed through. It's kind of handy.

So it will kill pond snails and pest snails...?

Would that dosage be okay for a 10G?
