Hi folks,

So I have been dosing Lanthanum from ATM agent green. At first I was dosing 2 mls per day, now I am up to 12 mls per day, to maintain phosophates where I want them.

I think it is throwing my alk out of whack too.
Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to rectify the situation?

It will lower alk by precipitation of lanthanum carbonate, but I’ve not heard of folks need steadily escalating dosing.
Thanks Randy, I wander will anyone else be experiencing the same thing. I think I will use some gfo and decrease the lanthanum.
