Reef roid is mostly phosphate. Continue use with the phosphate e, but you need to be careful since the lanthanum chloride binds with phosphate to form a grainy precipitate (size 10 microns) that needs to be removed with a skimmer or mechanical filter.
My phosphate regimen 125 total gallons:
1. Po4 > 0.3 ppm,
Run phosphate e: Drip diluted 50: 1 into overflow over 4 hours, catching in a 5 micron filter sock. Repeat as required. Phosphate binds to rock and sand, so you are cleaning not just water. If no filter, skimmer only, increase Drip time to 12 hours.
2. Po4 < 0.3 rowaphos 2 tablespoons in a reactor, run a refugium or turf scrubber.
