This stuff is powerful!
Following in the footsteps of Dave (DyM - check out his insane build thread)...I dosed Lanthanum to drop phosphates.
In 24 hours, dropped mine from 1.5 to .1 mg/L. Granted, this drop could be catastrophically too fast for a reef tank (I just have FOWLR), but I wanted mine down pronto to kick my cyano issue without more antibacterials (ChemiClean etc).
FWIW, here's how I'm doing it...
Seaklear Phosphate remover for pools, dumped straight into skimmer (dropped return waterline, then dumped measured dose through top of skimmer cup overflow), added 5 micron sock to skimmer return. I dumped 2.5-5 mL at a time, every few hours, total about 12-14mL. Within this timeframe, the sock was completely filled and overflowing.
1 Qt of Seaklear's product is about $35. That gives me about 65 more like-kind doses. Insanely cheap compared to GFO! Throwing my Rowaphos bag out today...
