So I have somewhat of a flatworm problem atm. It doesn't seem to be major comapared to the videos I've seen (the flatworms are tiny and haven't seen too many), but I wanna nip this in the butt before it gets outta hand.

The thing is, my sump is currently offline (it needs a huge plumbing overhaul, cleaning etc since the tank was neglected for a while) so I don't have a place to put my dual BRS carbon/gfo reactor in.

Now the Flatworm exit states that you should have activated carbon in a canister ready to go after you do the treatment and a water change. Since my sump is offline, can i just hang a bag of chemipure strait inside the tank? Since it's not going to be as efficient as carbon in a canister or chemipure inline somewhere in the sump, should I use 2 bags?
