Phosphate Rx is a revolutionary liquid solution designed to rapidly eliminate phosphates from both saltwater and freshwater aquariums. The powerful lanthanum-chloride formula quickly binds with phosphate molecules, rendering them inert and allowing for easy removal through mechanical filtration. By controlling phosphate levels, this supplement helps prevent nuisance algae growth and creates a healthier environment for your aquatic inhabitants.
This reef-safe, veterinarian-approved formula is a fast-acting, pre-mixed liquid for convenient dosing. For best results, add six drops per 10 gallons of water directly into a protein skimmer or a high-flow area with a fine micron filter sock to capture the precipitate. It is important to test your phosphate levels before use and not lower them by more than 0.5ppm within a 24-hour period. Some temporary cloudiness is normal and will clear within a day, but be aware that Tangs can be sensitive to this product.
This product is ideal for any aquarist, from beginner to professional, who is struggling with elevated phosphate levels that can hinder coral growth and fuel algae blooms. Regular use of Phosphate Rx promotes increased vitality and growth for corals and other invertebrates by maintaining ultra-low nutrient conditions. Its proven effectiveness has made it a trusted choice for public aquariums, livestock wholesalers, and dedicated hobbyists seeking pristine water quality.

Just posting a warning. Be very careful with any Product using Lanthanum Chloride. MUST filter through a filter micron 10 or 5 even better sock. Products like these work but at a risk. The resulting particles that form need to be filtered out or you will have loss of fish. Not just tangs but angles and other fish as well.
I like this product because I can easily adjust the number of drops to reach the phosphate level I want. The fluconase did not work for me and neither did gfo although both products work for most it seems. With gfo it is not easy to place the proper amount that you need to reach the level you desire. It only worked a little for me anyway. Fluconase probably kills certain kinds of hair algae but not the one I have so I am not knocking either of the products that didn't work for me, just saying. But Phosphate Rx does work for me!
Great product but experiment with low dose until you’re comfortable with effectiveness. Used 60 drops on a 250g and lowered phosphate (according to Hanna checker) from 0.72 to 0.12. As Gary notes, skimmer kicks in to high gear and I use a 10 micron filter pad to catch the precipitate. Also, as many have noted and written on the warning label, can affect yellow tangs. Well I don’t have any yellows, but my Kole and Powder Brown do scratch themselves against the substrate and park themselves in front of a power head for a bit. They’re fine after the initial cloudiness clears.
Used in correct dosage, will eliminate excessive phosphates in an hour and not days like gfo. Also easier to not overstrip like gfo can do. I use it with my protein skimmer for small adjustments and with a 10 micron sock ambulatory. Biggest breakthrough since gfo with better control, IMO.
