Opens just fine for me. Try a different browser. For some reason sometimes some browsers say theres something wrong with the certificate of the web page or something.

My Tank Thread
I'm not a fan of using a calculator for this purpose to do anything except prevent a serious overdose, but it opens for me right now. 
I wish we could have a standard solution for bulk but I understand that people might be using different concentrations.
I just wanted to run this by you all before I try it.
Using the Hannah 713ppm meter my phosphate is 2.06 ppm.
I made a solution of 500ml rodi to 5ml seaklear.
I then took 1000ml of tank water and added 1ml of the solution.
I left the container to settle for a few hours and measured phosphate at 1.88ppm
So I figure that 1ml of my solution will drop phosphate .05 or so ppm per 4 liters of aquarium water.
What do you think would be a safe dosage to start? I will drip it into the overflow, through a 1 micron sock, then it should travel to the skimmer section. I'm trying to avoid getting any unreacted lanthanum into the tank and also avoiding the precipitate.
This is for a 75 gallon tank with about 20 gallons for the sump, I figured around 80 gallons or less total volume.
