My Tank Thread
Is there a chemical interaction between lanthanum and bleach? I’ve noticed several “stalling” events throughout this test that I’m putting it down to bacterial growth. I could use some new sand I suppose, but that’s not my preferred option.
I don’t think so, at least not a strong one, but the high pH of bleach can impact the types of orthophosphate present, and can break organic phosphates apart into inorganic phosphate.
