only safe when used CORRECTLY.

We know people that have nuked their aquarium with an overdose.

REMEMBER: absolute zero PO4 is NOT a good thing.

Dave if your comming to the swap i can bring some. I have a bottle of the Seaclear I used it for about 6 months to get my phos leaching under controll. My mother works in a labratory so i can get a safe container that i can pour you some if you would like. I just ordered mine off amazon.

If you havent read up on Gary's thread. I read it from start to finish. It really ensures a proper dosing setup.
FYI when i used it i used a 5 micron filter sock mixed 1ml of LaCl in 1 gal water. I let that drip directly into my sock.

 

[low riderr]

how long before the filter clogged?

Thanks for the offer. I just ordered a bottle from Amazon yesterday.
