Yes, as discussed in the other thread, this this being an issue would be due to a misapplication of Lanth in a skimmer (it really can be a problem with lanth in any application). It is not a hammer to bang down phosphate quickly - if you do that with any method you risk problems with 'plating'...

Not all Lanth is the same. If you are comparing, make sure you know you are comparing apples to apples. Or, my rule of thumb, start way way slow and then tweak based of what happens. Here is calculations on what I do just for fun:

Thanks! I am hoping it is good enough to go public so that the podcasts can be almost as useful and searchable as articles.

From the interactive knowledge base we are testing what episodes does rich talk about how much lanthanium he uses "Based on the sources and our conversation history, Rich discusses his use of lanthanum chloride and the amounts he uses primarily in episodes focusing on water chemistry...

Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Nope. I used to feed BBS and might again if I get motivated to do it, but I don't think live food is necessary. Some of that stuff is spendy. I do use golden pearls and freeze dried rotis, and sometimes frozen rotis.

Yes it is!

That was really fun y'all. Thanks for visiting, organizing, for the frags, and for eating my snacks!

Thanks so much! What did you take those with and were you using a filter?

No worries! Looking forward to seeing y'all

3 hours! :D I'll pick up some snacks!

Liar - your systems are awesome

Thanks. I watched the talk. I am confused about what a hobbyist with home tests is supposed to calculate the ratio, and what ratio they are supposed to use for home tests.

So hanna Nitrate divided by Hanna Phosphate time 1.53 = ratio for 90-110 goal?

Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks!

That is cool! Thank you! I am going to do a section on lanth dosing next time we record. I agree about the skimmer and gfo! And the write up that started this thread is great!

I hate socks for lanth. They clog fast and you need to have active water flow, but not too fast or they will clog faster. This is why I started with the skimmer. I wouldn't trust pads or floss. And my over all use of lanth, based on tanks from 50 gallons to 200000 gallons is do it automated...

Is the phosphate in the ratio of hobbyist units total phosphate (the way FM reports) or inoganic phosphate (the way the Hanna checker reports)? Thanks
