These three posts were posted on another forum, but as of this morning I want to repost them here to get your guys' opinions:

Well, I dosed my tank with salifert flatworm exit at 6:00, and now I feel like things have finally settled down enough that I can finally write about whats happening...
From a very trusted source who has done this process on multiple peoples tanks I was advised to use double the recommended dose of Salifert (I have actually heard a lot of people suggest this). After siphoning flatworms out of my tank and into a mesh filter bag into the sump for over an hour (until very few flatworms were visible) I changed the carbon in my TLF reactor and dosed 3 cap fulls of flatworm exit, enough for 240 gallons. I sat on my computer to write about the process, looked over my shoulder, and saw that the tank was FILLED with little red specks. The flatworm exit also immediately shut down polyp extension on all of my corals. Even with siphoning/netting out as many dead flatworms as i can my water has still taken on a sick yellow tinge . I am running my carbon reactor with as much carbon as i can fit in it and i already have a 20 gallon water change lined up for once things settle down.
I should have some crazy pictures up at some point in time, but I sure hope this works out....

Well, I lost a fish, but i can't say it was due to the flatworm exit. It was a chromi that was severely emaciated already and being beaten up on by the rest of the school. That now drops my chromi count from five to three, they're vicious little buggers.
The water is already less yellow, but I have started my overnight water change. I have another water change brewing, just in case. My two clams are starting to open back up, as well as the galaxea and some zoanthids. My lights already turned off, so I'll take a look at the rest of the corals in the morning.

A little bit scared this morning, anyone with advice please chime in.
My tailspot blenny and my three remaining chromis seem fine, but my two tangs and two clownfish are acting a little strange. All of them are swimming in circles around the middle of the tank, and the two tangs have their camouflage patterns on with s few other weird markings. None of them ate when I added food. Also, my purple plasma coral has full polup extension again (the first to get it back), but its purple body appeared very dull.
The lights were off so I am still not completely freaking out. Is there anything I can do besides more water changes/changing carbon?
