I've seen many times people advising to use kalk to precipitate PO4 when this is a problem. My take on it is that you're not removing, but storing for later problems.
My questions are... Is there any possible way of making this work? Could you make PO4 precipitate, so it might be removed by good skimming? Are PO4 molecules skimmable?
Assuming they could be removed by skimming... does it make more sense to use such a "fix" in a BB where there's no sustrate that can pontentially trap PO4? Or could it be used in a system with any kind of sustrate provided there's enough flow to keep everything in suspension?
My chem is lackluster to say the least so your insight would be greatly appreciated.
