Hi Lynn,
flatworms in a tank without animals are quite simple to fight. Flatworms live on algae, in addition they must breathe over the whole body. They must take up oxygen thus all day long over here skin. If one continues to supply the tank not with oxygen (switch off skimmer, pumps, weaving), they die very fast. Even if one omits the light for 1 - 2 days and darkens the aquarium, they die to 100%.
A friend of me made only few days ago, with fish and corals in the tank. It was a 100% success. None flatworm outlived, but all other inhabitant.
