I thought about trying LC a few years ago because I could just not get my PO4 levels below .30-.40 ppm. Skimming wet wasn't working and I was burning though an insane amount of GFO and water changes. I read an article about biopellets (by same Melevs'sReef guy) and decided to try them. I had never tried biopellets because I had always heard they were for nitrates and my nitrates were acceptable. Anyway, long story short, adding a biopellet reactor got my PO4 down to .03-.04 ppm within a couple weeks (went slow) and has kept them there for a couple years. And I feed A LOT and have a lot of big fish.
In fact, I am sure that it was the biopellets that were responsible because I was reading on here a while back that some of the guys were getting away from the pellets and letting their tanks "go natural." No filter socks, no carbon, no gfo, etc. They made a good case as for why so I decided to let my reactor naturally wind down. I quit topping it off and let the pellets slowly dissolve. I didn't check the PO4 for 6 months or more because it was always so low. This was with a Hanna checker btw. I checked them recently and was surprised to see them at .35 ppm again.
I filled the reactor back up with pellets and within a week, PO4 was back down to .04 ppm. IMO, biopellets are more "natural" for our tank than adding chemicals like LC. If you are having PO4 issues, I would try a reactor if you aren't running one. Maybe you could do away with your GFO. I only have to touch my biopellet reactor once every 6 months or so and that is just to clean it up and top it off. I have saved a ton of money on GFO, not to mention time rinsing that nasty stuff off.
