One of the method is to dosing directly in the skimmer. Am I doing it right?

I'm dosing lanthanum now for 2 years 0.6 mll per day at a 185 gallon tank.
Phosphate is always stabil at 0.06
I dose it 2" in front of the inlet of the skimmerpump.

This method works. I just dose mine into my filter sock upstream of my skimmer. I recommend only half dosing the suggested amount and splitting the half dose into 2 doaes.
 
Op— that’s how I’ve been doing it without issue. I dose a baby amount every day to every other day BECAUSE PHOSPHATE IS ANNOYING AND I HATE IT. Seriously. My least favorite thing to deal with.
