Thanks for the thread, and sharing your findings..... eager to read the results....

Yeah, I'm interest to see the results too. No Planeria has been getting a pretty poor rep of late, but it's been mostly anecdotal results.

[liljohn_83]

ok so it has been roughly 24 hours at half dose of recomended dose ,witch is 1 spoon per 50 ltrs

i dosed at 1 spoon per 100 ltrs my ph rainge's in tanks from 6.8-7.2 temps rainge from 18 dc-26 dc and my stock list is rather vast and expencive .

i can see 0 problem's with my tanks so far o casualtys 0 side afects '' only problem i can note is my water is not quite as clear as it was prior to doseing

all of the visable hydra is now a speck/dot nothing more im so thrilled with the result's im not going to do the second dose

im going to wait and see if any of the hydra i could see , roughly 30 per tank , actualy die or survive as im curiouse how lower dose is afective as i like the least amount of adetives in my tanks as posible sompthing i picked up in the fish keeping

and to be honest id be glad if all it did was pause the hydra for a month ,,but i will keep this thred updated as time goes on

still got me stuffed how i got hydra as i use rain water filter twice through .04 micron filter ,i can only asume plants

hope the info is useful to others

well day 3 all seems good tanks are clear and all are alive 0 casualtys eaven shrimplets still running around , this is the 50% dose test of no planeria one dose only as i can see no surviveing hydra , and dont like adetives in my water if possible ,,just for the hell of it tonight i will dose one tank with another 50% no planeria so i have a comparisen tank , to see if the hydra comes back in the others or not at one dose , and second tank at 2 doses , ill do the tank with chocolate cherys and ss crs , wich i can then keep an eye on the shrimps to see any problems in low-medium grade shrimp ,,

[liljohn_83]

well still all good news day 4 , even the tank with a second half dose roughly 36 hours after first dose ,,now to sit back and see if any hydra reapers , will keep yous posted

[liljohn_83]

quick update ,no visible hydra , no deaths , all is well ,, so id say if your trying to kill hydra 2 half doses of no planeria , will do the trick and a seems to be 100 % safe and afective at half dose rates for those that are shy

Thanks for sharing, great work. Do you have strong surface agitation, and what's your filtration like ? i.e. filter rate/turnover ? During the 1st week of testing, did you do any water changes ? Thanks

Very cool results, very promising to see No Planeria is having such positive results when it's had such a bad rap in the past, great work liljohn! :victorious:

I have results to post as well with a different dosing method

day 1 = 25% dose + PRIME for ammonia

day 2 = 50% dose still planaria + PRIME for ammonia

day 3 = 50% dose still planaria + PRIME for ammonia

15% water change

day 4 not sure if i dosed anymore

then gave up

a week or 2 later I see no planaria, not even the tiny ones!

0 deaths, most of my mini ramshorn snails survived too :)

Great results neosin, thanks for sharing. It's very good to see more results of a promising nature, makes me wonder if they've changed the formula at all after so many bad experiences previously? :victorious:

[liljohn_83]

ok atm im only running sponge filters , 200 lph in 40-45 ltr tanks so some seriouse agitation all my riccia is stuck above the water line ,, sad oh whel ill get some more when i put the canisters back on and all my tanks are testing at 6.8-7 ph , tds roughly 150 ppm or its broken ? lol note i did not use anny thing for amonia for the week i played with the no planeria ,nor did i change the water just top up evaperation ,,also i use the greyham loyd jones declorinator and atm im changeing water at 10 % , might also be none as tech den
