If anyone is using this product I would like to hear about the dosage.

I am planning on running a maxi jet 400 circulating into a 5 micron filter sock while using a iv bag drip to slowly drip in the lanthanum chloride of brightwell phosphat-e.

Judging by the instructions on the bottle it looks like I would only need 6.5 ml of the product to reduce my 230 gallon tank with a phosphate level of 0.12 ppm via red Sea phosphate test kit. On the bottle it says 1 mL will reduce 1 ppm for every 4 US gallons.

I know I do not want to strip out all of the phosphate at one time. This seems like a pretty strong solution if that is the case. I assumed that it would be pretty dilute.

My plan will be to use half that amount and mix it with 1 L of RO water and slowly drip it over several hours.

If anyone is using this product and can comment upon whether it actually takes that small of amount to reduce the phosphates I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks
 
I know most people use the seaklear or phosfree chemicals but someone must have used brightwells phosphat-e. I just wondering about if it is as concentrated as they say.
