Lanthanum - phosphate wrecker!

[BryanF]

I've been using it for 6 months or so in my fowlr. Keeps phosphates at 0 and havnt had a trace of hair algae. I havnt yet tried it in my reef tank.

Just checked Amazon and it's $26.99 for 32 oz. not bad since it seems to work.

I also found anhydrous anybody mixing their own?

I still do monthly. Not sure if the clear pond was a verified alternative. I paid $35 for a bottle maybe 3 yrs ago, and it's at about half full so I wouldn't be focused on price since $35 in GFO gets used up in about 6 months....

Are you using on a reef? Any I'll effects seen?

 

[deboy69]

I used it in my mixed reef and haven't seen any problems

Yep, reef more than 50% SpS, snails, shrimp, nems... No problems. Dosing for a few years now.

I just ordered some on Amazon and will try it out in small doses along with my GFO. I've been having a heck of a time getting phosphates under control lately.

Just a note there is two different strengths on seaclear

 

[Balz3352]

With the strengths do you use the pool and just use less?

Do we know if this works as well as the other product

LC really funks up filter socks so don't be surprised if you go through 2-3 on your first treatment

ya I have some 50 micron bulk material I cut up (I call them my fish diapers) and a home-made filter box contraption that I will be using. I will report back after I try it out.

 

[deboy69]

Filters should be no bigger than 10 micron from what I have read. I use 1 micron

Seaclear cr is 1/3 of the regular strength so you need to use 3 times as much
