lanthuanum chloride

[homer1475]

So I read to to help leach out the phosphates in BRS dry pukani I need to use lanthanum chloride. A product called free & Klear made by Sea Klear is to be used. I just want to make sure I'm buying the correct product.

I'm doing 50# of dry pukani in a large brute container, with a heater and powerhead to cycle. If I read the thread properly, I need to use the phospahte remover, dump water, refill, repeat. During this process since I'm using salt water it will also be cycling my rock?

Just want to make sure I'm doing this right as I've never used dry rock before. I've only every had to cure live rock, and I certainly don't need a huge PO4 issue in my new tank.

I've used Brightwell Aquatics Phosphat-E Liquid Phosphate Remover in my reef with excellent results and no ill effects. I used this because it is premixed and easy to use, it will last you forever and if you ever needed it again once your tank is up and running, it would be an excellent product to have on hand. Just test the water for phosphates before you call it complete.

You don't need to dump the water, that's the point of the LC. It crystalizes the phos into like chunks that you can catch in a filter sock, or siphon out of the barrel with some tubing.
Yes your rock will cycle during the process too.
