FAQs
How often should I test my phosphate levels?
Test your phosphate levels at least once a week, or more frequently if you are experiencing algae issues or making significant changes to your aquarium.
Can I use this product in a freshwater aquarium?
No, this product is specifically formulated for marine and reef aquariums.
What should I do if I overdose?
Perform a large water change (25-50%) immediately. Observe your livestock for any signs of stress.
How long does it take to see results?
You should typically see a reduction in phosphate levels within a few hours to a day after treatment. Water clarity improvements may take longer.
Does this product affect other elements in my water?
Yes, lanthanum chloride can bind with other trace elements. Regular monitoring and water changes are recommended.
Can I use this product with other aquarium additives?
It is generally safe to use with other aquarium additives, but it is recommended to introduce them separately and monitor your water parameters.
How do I remove the bound phosphates?
Bound phosphates are removed through protein skimming and/or mechanical filtration (filter socks, filter floss).
Is it safe for invertebrates?
Yes, when used as directed, it is safe for invertebrates. Always monitor your aquarium inhabitants.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy water after treatment.
This is often caused by the precipitation of phosphate. Ensure your mechanical filtration, such as filter socks or a filter with filter floss, is in place to remove the precipitate. If it persists, perform a partial water change.
Phosphate levels not decreasing.
Check the expiration date of the product. Make sure you are using the correct dosage based on your aquarium volume and phosphate levels. Ensure that your protein skimmer is functioning correctly and removing the bound phosphates. You may need to replace your filter socks or other mechanical filtration media.
