    Lanthanum Chloride Questions

    Hey all, I recently stumbled across threads with people saying they use lanthanum chloride to lower phosphate. Upon further research i'd like to try it out, GFO is expensive and it's extra maintenance that I'm looking to get rid of. 1) Products like Phosphate RX or Phosphate E (Brightwell)...

    To skim or not to skim, that is the question.

    As you can see in the title, that is my main question but, here is the background behind it: Up until last night, my main sps tank was a 40 gallon acrylic setup with sump and a Tunze Comline DOC 9004 DC skimmer. Worked great. I woke up yesterday morning to see a start of a 2” long separation in...

    Is GFO necessary with a large regfugium?

    I have always run GFO and had very good success with it. Recently I have been running a very large triton style refugium with the Kessil refugium light. I have 0 detectable nitrates or phosphates with this, and I recently stopped changing my GFO. I still have 0 detectable phosphates with a...

    High phosphate/nitrate

    I've finished cycling my 40-gallon AIO reef tank and added five corals about a week ago. They are hardy species: two acans, one frogspawn, one leather and a fungia. All appear ok, and have eaten mysis when I target fed them. Ammonia and nitrite are zero, nitrate is 4 or 5, pH is about 8.2...

    With regard to Po4 how low is too low?

    Hi Randy, and other Reef2Reefers. I have a problem that probably most reefers dream about having. I seem to have really low No3 and Po4 levels that I struggle to keep from bottoming out. I dose NoPox in a moderately stocked mixed reef 350 Reefer, at the level of 1.8ml daily, and maintain No3...

    Nitrate and Phosphate Dosing Photos

    Curious to see if anyone has photos of their progress with nutrient dosing. I see many threads of discussion of how to go about this but I have not seen too many discussions with photos of "improved coloration and growth" that many people claim. Please post your results. Thanks in advance!

    Nitrates and Phosphates (Again ;) )

    It seems that the hobby drifts towards and then away from the ultra low range nutrients systems on a regular cycle. It leads the 'newbies' (of which I still believe I am one) to the incorrect initial conclusion that you need 0 Nitrates and 0 Phosphates. I have a mixed reef and endeavor to keep...

    Nitrate or Phosphate?

    should I get a good nitrate test kit or a good phosphate test kit first? I would like to get both but I can only get one for right now.

    Adding Dry Rock to Established Reef

    My 180g reef has three live rock pillars right now and I want to add another one. I had some dry rock in the garage, that I epoxyed into another pillar. It has been sitting in a 18 gallon rubbermaid tote filled with 1.025 salt water with a MJ1200 powerhead moving the water. This was old tank...

    10 PPM Phosphate Levels: No need to panic

    Abstract: A calculation error led to the overdosing of tri sodium phosphate (TSP: Na3PO4) to a 700L (135 gallon display plumbed to two 25 gallon frag tanks) mixed reef system with deep sand bed that has been operating for the past 14 years. The overdose resulted in not the targeted 0.010 ppm...

    Phosphate in the Reef Aquarium

    The phosphorus atom is one of living matter’s basic building blocks. It is present in every living creature and in the water of every reef aquarium. Unfortunately, it is often present in excess in reef aquaria and that excess has the potential to cause at least two substantial problems for...
