Switching From Lanth To Algae For Phos
So I had phosphate troubles got on the UAC bandwagon they're great and their products all work.

I just want to move away from dosing their phosphate remover to open up another channel on the doser/ just still hear mixed stuff about lanth dosing.

I've got some room in my sump for a fuge area or I can get an algae scrubber not sure which to go for. I've never really had a nitrate problem just my phosphates for some reason always jump way above of my nitrates, figure it's probably something to do with the siporax.

I saw on the facebook mafa page someone was talking about putting an airstone under the bio media to make it get rid of phosphate rather than nitrate, is this a thing I couldn't find much on google.

Just looking for tips on moving away from Lanth, I guess I can't just turn the pump off and pray but if i leave it running it might just sap the phosphates before I can get any algae growing seems like I might have dead ended myself
