Still have small cell amphidium dino. So I've taken out almost all my sand.

I've been adding silicates, live phyto, nitrates, phosphates and live rock enhance bacteria. I will probably order some Dr Tim's Waste Away again.

Also I accidentally introduced some flatworms into the system when I added some chaeto to the sump. even though I dipped the chaeto into double dosed Levamisole.

I emptied and cleaned out the sump. so everything was removed from the sump. now it's been almost a week since I spotted the flatworms and I've noticed that the flatworm population in the DT is almost gone. So I suspect the inhabitants are controlling the population. I might still add a Dragonet to the system. I put a Scooter Blenny in my 50 gallon frag tank and in less than 24 hrs it seems to be really cut into the flatworm population in that tank.

I did notice last night that there are really tiny almost transparent flatworms in the sump (again). If they eventually get cleared up in the DT then I'll do a final clear out in the sump either with Levamisole or will turn the tank off and lower the salinity temporarily to kill them off. Most likely that is the plan.
