Vodka, I'll drink to that. After a water change and ph reactor and rinsing my pe mysis
So apparently blue life phosphate control is LaCl. I have considering building a reactor and playing with the stuff for a while. I might build the reactor and give but a try.
Make sure the flocculant doesn't make it into your tank. I've read it can reek havoc, especially on your glass if it gets into your display (makes it permanently hazy)
I would run a 10 micron filter on the output of you skimmer if you are dosing straight into the skimmer. Better yet would be to dose into the sock and have that feed into the input of the skimmer. I'm planning on building a reactor with the filtration built within the next couple weeks if you want to beta test it. It will also have a regulated drip for the LaCl so you don't have to manually drip it over hours of time.

So I have a tlf150 stuffed with some pillow casing floss from Walmart.
Pump is mag9 tee'd into the reactor and other half into the refugium area
I have a brs dosing pump dumping about ~50ml throughout the day that is tee'd into the input tlf and the output into a 5 micron sock in my skimmer section..
I'm using the seaclear "cr" version which is the diluted lacl.... 20ml into a gallon rodi.
Had this setup for about 2 weeks or so and my phos has been around .06 via Hanna URL.
When my gallon runs out I'm thinking of upping the lacl solution to get my phos down a bit more.
