Lanthanum Chloride Dosing

[PUFFY_SANCHEZ]

Has anyone used LC dosing to get phosphates under control or will it just happen over time? I have dry rock that has been curing for about a month and phosphates are at .51. Debating about using LC to get it down or should I just let it happen over time. Thanks for the insight.

I have been using Phosphate Rx, Lanthanum Chloride, instead of GFO to control phosphates. Works great.

How do you do it? Dose pump? Home made drip into filter sock?

 

I'd like some more details if possible so I can nip this in the bud sooner than later.

I just manually dose a few drops every other day on my SPS system. It doesn't take much to keep them under control.

Can you send me the link to what you bought? Also do you manually drop it into a filter sock? I heard you have to get the precipitate out. Thanks so much for your help.

I dose next to the skimmer intake. The tank will get cloudy for a bit but it doesn't hurt anything.
