Ok I have a crap load of gravel worms in my tank I can run my finger across any 5 inches of the sand and find 5 to ten worms so over the next month of water changes I'm going to suck up all of the sand into a bucket and get rid of all of them boil the sand and put it back what do u guys think?
Plan to deworm my tank what do u think?

I all rdy told u jordy I dont over feed and it's hard to vac the sand the way it needs to be becuz I suck all of the sand out
Sounds like a good idea, though I'm thinking with his fish they wont last long. You could vac it all up and boil the sand, but honestly the worms have to be eating something. Why not starve the tank for a few days and see if that helps along with stirring up the sand and a large wc.
I can't keep any loaches or cray fish they would last 1 minute and I dont want to stress out my fish by stirring everything up
don't go to all the trouble of boiling the sand...use some salt in the tank...fast the tank for like 3-4 days providing your stock won't kill eachother...and do some big WC's. if its an infestation of planaria worms that means they are eating something lol...you may not over feed but there is enough leftover food to sustain them.
When I say stir up I didn't meant literally stirring it. Just sifting through it, I mean that's probably a lot less stressful than removing it all and dumping it back in. I'd only do that as a last resort.
