Phosphate removal from RO water

[Haulin Oates]

So I decided to run a few tests on freshly made water today to see if maybe that could be a cause of some of my problems, and wouldn't you know I came back with .08 phosphates! So I was thinking of adding 2 canisters to my RO/DI unit; one would be an extra DI resin canister and the other would be a phosphate reduction. What do you guys think? What could I use to reduce phosphates in fresh water?

You can't use lanthanum chloride on fresh water? Well, I have the tall blue canisters, I think brs calls them big blue, if you want to trade for them

Ive got a few extra canisters to hook in besides if I'm trading you for anything, its the 60 gal cube you got!! I'm thinking about doing Lanthium on my tank... Still doing a bit of research on it.

I did 2 fabric pre-filters and 2 carbon 1 5 micron and 1 1 micron. Then my di and things have improved a ton. Did a 100 gallon water change and added this filter from catfish and 0 phosphates in my tank first time. You'll have to check out that filter. Cheap too

I was thinking more chemical. I bought an extra canister filter from HD so I'm going to put that in line. I also need to get more DI resin.
