With a few years of Triton style reef keeping,I was wondering if anyone has noticed any toxicity with the use of lanathum?

I have several methods of nutrient export, including GFO. I do, however, end up using SeaClear to lower my phosphates on average every 2-3 weeks. This is to keep it in my sweet spot of 0.03. It is much easier than adjusting my GFO volume.

All of my Triton tests show high lanathum. I personally, have not noticed any problems.

Has anyone else noticed any toxic effects?

Some folks have noted tox issue on tangs.

Whether that is real or not, or whether it is from soluble lanthanum or particulates, I do not know.
