Just started dosing Lanthanum Chloride

[Yates273]

Been dealing with high phosphates and finally decided to dose Lanthanum Chloride. I have heard alot of good stories with it. Gonna start out very slow. 1.6 ml dosed via doser over a 12 hour period. See what it does in a week. My current phosphate levels are .31. Ouch. Wish me luck

If I can make a recommendation, at least what worked for me, dose it right into the skimmer. That way any precipitation should be instantly skimmed out.

Ok I was looking into that, but didn’t know where to put it in skimmer I have it in sock chamber where the skimmer is. Do I run line underneath skimmer? Or drill a hole in body of skimmer?

Noooo please don’t drill anything.

I had mine also on a doser. I ran a line through one of the air holes in the cup, down into the cup, then up into the neck and down into the body. LC was dosed right into the skimmer body where the water / air exchange happens.
