survival rate in fresh water


how long do you figure corals can survive in freshwater


as you may know I have a severe flatworm infestation in my ten gallon tank, as someone suggested, I FW dipped a few of my rocks and the flatworms began floating to the top of the water almost instantly

if I drained my tank and refilled with freshwater for a few minutes, then filled it back up with saltwater, do you think I'd have more problems or a good solution?

I have this option due to the tanks tiny size...


any opinions?

I don't think that would be a good idea....

I'd remove stuff, dip it, put it in new salt water, then put the tank back together again.

I wouldn't try it. I'd just keep dipping.

Good luck - they're a PITA...
