Any word yet on your Lanthanum levels and phosphate levels since dosing into the skimmer neck? I dose Phosphate RX (also lanthanum based) into my Clarisea roller filter. My thought is that even with filtering down to 50 mcg (or 25 mcg in the case of the Clarisea), the fleece is continually partially clogged with waste, so we may actually be filtering out more of the Lanthanum than we would assume to be doing with our 25-50 mcg fleece filtering ratings. Furthermore, are we even sure that Lanthanum is harmful to our corals? I'm dosing a very small amount of Lanthanum/day via a dosing pump, which is working very well for me in keeping down my phosphates. My lanthanum level as per ICP (literally run today) was .024 PPM, which is slightly higher than "Fiji" water levels (.007 ppm). Should I be worried?An interesting thought. Yesterday I moved over my dosing tube to dose into the body of the skimmer. I brought the dosing line in through the lid and then used a section of rigid tubing to drop the outlet down the neck into the skimmer body.
