GM reefer!
Im sure this has been discussed more than a few times. I plan on dosing lanthanum chloride to reduce phosphates in my 180G tank and to exhaust all the po4 bound in the rocks/sand, that way I can finally get it to a comfortable and stable level.
Right now po4 is sitting well above .6 PPM and climbing. I've been managing with large water changes and a chaeto refugium (which barely makes a dent).
My question is should I buy some phosphate E and be done with it? Or would it be way more cost effective going with another brand specifically not one that's not labeled for reefs?
I saw Randy Holmes thread on the DIY solution, I just can't see which kind/brand LC he used.
