I thought I had AEFW before, but those are HUGE compared with what I saw. My KCl dip wasn't easy on the coral either, so I'm curious to see how this goes. Please post an update!
I've been using 2 tablespoons per gallon for 5-10 min. Often the aefw not only die but disintegrate at this dose. I've had zero coral loss at that dose.
Usually I dig into content creators when they present improper and irresponsible tank treatments, but this was done responsibly. It's the type of treatments content creators should be advocating and demonstrating for hobbyist. Sure, there may not be a true protocol set up yet, but there's still a series of best practices hobbiest's should be learning. You ID'd and observed the pest your treating for, you had a set dosage, you knew the active ingredient, and you had a set timer. Even more important, you isolated the coral into a small treatment container for the dip. If only the rest of the community ran treatments like this, we'd be far better off.
I used 47.5 grams/gallon. Mixing measurements...yay! And I didnt worry much about time. 15 minutes minimum.

Does it only work on aefw, or does it also work with planaria flatworms too?
@@fishstix1988 Potassium chloride works on planaria and many other things. It's my main dip of choice. Seems gentle on the corals and very effective.
Are you mixing it with two gallons of fresh water or two gallons of salt water?
@@sarcophyton100 I mix 2 tablespoons of potassium chloride to 1 gallon of saltwater. Dip up to 10 minutes while basting off the coral.
I’ve tried coral rx on my torches and it worked.
First! 🎉
I always found 2 tablespoons per gallon would eliminate them within a minute. Keep them in the dip for 5 minutes. Flatworms melt away.
How often do you remove you colonies for dipping? thx

All I can say is F aefw!
