Aquattro;910023]Ya, suggested that. But that's a lot of water to make and store and move. Also suggested fozdown.

Problem is the rock is all old dead rock that will keep leaching, so that would be multiple 100% changes over a few months.
Actually a 100% water change will do very little as the phosphate is bound to other thing in the tank , the good news is phosphates have a limit so it can only leach so long.

I agree lanthum chloride will do it but won't happen over night and the amount you'll need is going to be expensive .

Personally I'd set up a temp frag tank with good water while I dealt with the 300g ,I would get water bak n track as I'm sure if it's truly 3ppm then there's probably other issues as well.

I can assume you've double checked the testers

Though it's only available tank could he not use a few totes to keep coral in while dealing with issue. Leaching from rock it will take a while to get out and I imagine going to be a algea bloom

Not an option. Only tank available.
