Seaklear Phosphate Remover

Phosphate E (Not sure about the Seaklear phosphate remover) is based on Lanthanum chloride, it lingers in the tank for a long time.. in ICP test kits, its registered as a pollutant FYI

I've used phosphate rx in the past with no negative side effects.

I used Phosphate E with good results.

You're a lot better off with Brightwell® Aquatics Phosphat-E or Blue Life™ Phosphate Rx™
because they have known metrics:

You can only experiment with SeaKlear Phosphate Remover.

All that said, I have some SeaKlear I'll never use if you're willing to travel to 07039 to pick it up.
Hay guys how much at once do you dose the phosphateE? Any problem with the lps if dose too much?

Brtightwell actually has pretty good dosing instructions posted on all their products.

Check the link I posted for dosing calculations.

I don't have any LPS to speak of in regard to damage from LaCl.

If you're going to mess with LaCl, I strongly suggest you get a Hanna LR Phosphate tester. If you overdo it, you can seriously damage your corals if you hit Zero ppm. (Duh, I lost my Green Bali Slimer two weeks ago.) Using too much can also cause problems with your fish, esp tangs and some wrasse. When I was dosing LaCl during the day, my Hoeven's Wrasse would bury itself in the sand before feeding time. When I started dosing at night, it started behaving normally again.

I did not have LPS damage while dosing Brightwell Phosphate-E
