sorry to hear that man when i had a phosphate prob on my 125 it was like 5ppm cuz i used tap water to start the tank haha i used a thing called Phosphate RX by Blue life elite reef has them it clouds up your water a little but goes away fast i did not have any coral or fish die at all during a 2 week phosphate battle got it down to 0.05 with no water changes.but a reactor is good thing to maintain low phosphates just watch your oxygen lvls when using pellets the tend to drop oxygen.have you thought about using GFO?
Post the fresh nitrate and phosphate numbers, if you don't mind and we can figure out a plan.
I personally don't think that lanthanium is the answer, but to each their own. In any case, there are other options that are easy and tried-and-true, but they will take some time... need to know the nitrate numbers to see how well carbon will work.
