lanthanium chloride - how to dose (solid form)

[sasa]

Hi guys,

I got some Lanthanum Chloride from a friend to reduce po4 - but it's not a solution but in hydrate (solid) form.
Anyone knows how to create a solution and dose it to the tank (into the skimmer or filter socks)

I have around 20 gramms of it.

thanks!

What is your phosphate level?
How big is your tank?

Tank is 150 gallon and the PO4 is 0.5 ppm (new tank)

Dissolve the 20 grams in 1L of RoDI or ethanol, it will readily dissolve at 25C. This is a 2% solution, pretty weak but that’s good. Drip slowly into 1-10um sock.
