Rocks leaching phosphate

The phosphate on the rock is in equilibrium with phosphate in the water. So having the rock in water with a low to very low phosphate concentration will slowly remove it from the rock. You can do that before setup, or you can keep it low during the cycle (or both). There are a variety of ways to accomplish this, including GFO, lanthanum ...Web
