Anyone using Phosban-L from Two Little Fishies?

[Spar]

I have had a bad GHA problem for some time now and am going to try some form of lanthanum chloride. I saw that TLF has a new product called Phosban-L that has lanthanum chloride in it.

Anyone have experience on this? Any idea compared to just buying straight lanthanum chloride product, or is Phosban-L mostly/all lanthanum chloride anyway?

If I were to use an auto-doser for this, what would be the recommended dosing regime?

What is your phosphate level?

Low, 0.03ppm. Lots of gha though so it does exist... maybe in the algae itself.

And nitrate level?
With phosphate that low I would not run and phosphate binders..

 

[Spar]

Nitrate is <2ppm

I'm pretty sure there is an abundance of phosphate in there, it is just being consumed by the algae as it is produced/leached.

I need some way to get rid of the gha, running out of options.

Tried fluconazole?

Tried fluconazole?

yes, i use it regularly. it looked like it worked the first time i used it, but the gha grew back pretty quick once it wore off. the next few times I used it it didn't even dent the gha anymore (used it 3 or 4 times over the last 6 months). i still have a bunch left, but am going to try a different route for a while first (stuff is pricey!).

Did you do a water change after the treatment period?

Did you do a water change after the treatment period?

Yes around a 10%. Plus started daily auto 1.5% changes.
