Salifert makes flat worm exit that is supposed to kill/stun flatworms specifically. Just be careful when you do this and have extra carbon on hand and water to do a water change because they do release toxins when they die and if you have enough flatworms in the system it can become a problem.
We don't have the new tank setup yet, the pistol is in the 20g tank. We changed the tank out about a month or so ago because it was so scratched up after years of moving and abuse. When we did that, we cleaned our sand so we have not seen an issue with cyano.
We put a cooling rack for baked goods over the acclimation bucket to keep our guy in. Trust me you want to have something over the acclimation bucket, our guys jumped into it about 15-20 times in an hour.
Drip acclimation is much easier on the fish because of how gradual it is and we do it on...
We run two HOB fuges because we don't have a sump. I can't see any major problem of having it on the sump as long as the water level is high enough. I think the reason you don't see it, is because most people will just built a fuge chamber into their sump. Why buy the extra equipment if you...
I think he was asking who makes it, which I am also curious of as well because it sounds like it can do just about anything. Does it play lullbies to the fish to help them fall asleep as well? ;D
Where did you poisition the SPS frags when you got them? Corals need light acclimation and is it always recommended to start them out on the bottom and work them up over time. I pulled this off of ultimate frags as their acclimation process.
Acclimation Procedure:

We put a yasha goby in our 20g on saturday, saw him for a day or two and then nothing. Then we saw him, well part of him, getting eaten by our hermits. That was fun. Good news is the pistol shrimp it came with is doing well.
One thing you could look into doing is adding Brightwell's Microbacter7. The biopellets are a carbon source for the bacteria to feed on an MB7 is good bacteria. I run BW Reef Biofuel (carbon source) and the MB7 together and have not seen an increase in algae.
