Got another one

So my 125 predator build I’ve mentioned, moved established and everything was out of whack

Fast forward to today. I’ve gotten nitrates between 5-10
Have stand alone fuge
Have been dosing vibrant since October 14th
Had phosphates over 2ppm after move
(Previous owner never obviously did anything with phosphates) and I believe I have a lot tied up in the rock work

I’ve been running high cap BRS gfo for a month
Have gotten phosphates down to .09-.12

Went to get more GFO from LFS and he’s stopped carrying BRS products. But had rowaphos on hand. Needed some so grabbed some.

Went off calculator and I tested water coming out of reactor at 0 from Hannah checker

Today (24 hrs later) my output is .12 just like tank was yesterday. And tank water is .12. And I’ve read about phosphates and gfo being expended rapidly.

I have GHA. A lot less mind you than before. Lots growing in fuge and I’m removing. But I have quite a bit on the rocks themselves and where I don’t scrape back glass of the peninsula

Should I go back to BRS high cap, stick with rowa and burn through it. Or is there something else I should be doing. Or let it run it’s course??

Advice please??
Thank you
 
Have you looked into dosing lanthanum chloride?
