Had to stop post on your thread yesterday, or there would have been a hijacking going on. I did get a picture with Eral in a speedo

I know you have just got things sorted but while you're looking at Agent Green have a look also at ATM Outbreak (bacteria that eats excess organics) Super Nova ( carbon that has outbreak in it so it self cleans the carbon) and Alka Haul (KH buffer) I think you'll like them

I this they have change the name

This is the stuff I think you are suggesting. Link
This is the Agent green Link

The first link is for colony. You don't need that. That's nitrifying bacteria. I will use that when I put water in my tank.

The second link is agent green which you want for your phosphates. Looks like it has a different label over there but same thing

Your tank is looking great! And I love the music, listen to him all the time

Now I need to find the other product you are suggesting to take care of the nitrates?

Gypsy Kings also, both are from Spain.

Outbreak. It's not a quick fix. You have to dose over time to build up bacteria in your sand bed that eat up any excess organics. At first it feels like you're pouring money away but you will start to see your skimmer working less and less as you build

Cool, thank you. I will have to buy direct for ATM to get Both of the right products

Be careful with the "agent green", it's just lanthum chloride.

Nothing to worry about. What you're referring to is products from back in the day that were just swimming pool cleaning products.

You can drop your p04 much quicker with that lanthum chloride than you can with gfo. Use too much and you'll have white sticks....
Agent green is nothing more than lanthum chloride....

Thank you for the concern, I have been using phosphate RX with the lanthanum chloride and have been having great result. Figured I would try agent green the @x_burt suggested for maintaining the phosphates.
