I'm interested in correcting a phosphate issue. After a blackout to clear some stubborn algae I'm in a much better spot. It's been several weeks and with UV the algae is under control. However the massive has die off has spiked my phos to 0.3ppm. I've done a few 30% WCs and a good clean out of my canister filter but it's barely put a dent in it I'm still at 0.24ppm.
I'm looking to do a course correction and I've heard good results from using lanthanum chloride. However from my understanding what happens is it binds to the phos and then is removed by skimmer or filter sock. Unfortunately I only have a canister filter on this system, I'm looking for another option that would allow me to use lanthanum chloride, any suggestions?
