Seaklear p04 removal dosage?

[kris2001]

Hi
I've used phosphate rx once a week before about 7 drops for my 160g sw reef tank.... Recently switched to seaklear.

Started seaklear with 2% solution to a gallon RODI...ran with BRS doser 2 min daily into sump near skimmer intake...
Po4 then was 0.2ppm.

So after 1 week I tested phosphates, there is absolutely no change so I'm thinking either I should increase 2% to 5% or 10% or keep it at 2% and increase the dosage from 2 minutes to 4 minutes per day?... Until I see a reduction in po4?

What's better, increase in solution strength %....or.... Increase in minutes per day of dosing?

Please let me know thx

Diluted and spread out over time is best. 1 drop per second, diluted, into a 5 micron sock would help insure all the lantanum gets reacted.
