Pukhani rock is known to leech PO4 and that includes BRS rock. Just be aware...

Thanks I have used it on all my tanks so far haven't had any problems with it. I plan on letting it soak for a couple months.

Agreed, just let it soak and have a plan for what's left....

Sump looks amazing! looking forward to this build.

Sometimes I wonder if the pukani rock phosphate leeching is just a reef keeper urban legend.

Future plans are to finish the plumbing, aquascape, fill it let it sit for a few months while I decided on lights. And then stuff it full of coral

I've used it on my tanks and etched it and cycled it in a vat beforehand. Phosphate increased but I just knocked it back with lanthium chloride and water changes. It was fine by the time I put it in my tank.

 

[Mrx7899x]

Haven't used lanthium chloride. I just soak it for a while and do water changes.

No the phosphate will bind to it and precipitate out and it can end up sticking to the rock. I took a fine micro filter sock and hung it on the side of the container. I hooked up a powerhead to some tubing to run water through the sock. I then slowly dripped the lathium chloride into the sock and it filtered out the precipitate. Need to change the socks every day or two. Lathium chloride is sold a a clraify at pool stores under the name Seaclear. Some use this technique in the tanks instead of gfo.

Dude! Can that be any more functional, streamlined, or beautiful?
I'm planning to have a vasectomy in the next few months.
If you're available to consult with the doc I'd appreciate it.

Picked up a used lifereef skimmer. I swapped out the mag 7 for a VarioS 2 that I had from my 50 gallon cube.
