I know it says somewhere on here but I can't seem to find the thread. Where do you get your Lanthanum Chloride from?

@KJ I saw that on their website today. How much do you dose per gallon?
Clean out the Brute can, put the rock back in, fill with RODI water, and add 1/2 fl oz. of LC daily, running a PH in the can. Continue adding LC until phosphate in near undetectable.
Questions on this step:
1. I assume I need to use RODI and not tap water correct? RO IS FINE BUT TAP IS PROBABLY ACCEPTABLE
2. Do I just test the water from the trash can daily? Silly questions I know but I just wanted to make sure. Hanna ULR meter ok I imagine? I DIDN'T TEST, JUST DRAINED WATER AND PRECIPITATE, ADDING MORE LaCl UNTIL NO MORE PRECIP. DONE...
3. I've read that you should rinse the rock after this step to get rid of any sediment built up on the rock. Is this correct? If so, I imagine it needs to be in RODI water? I RINSED TO REMOVE ANY PRECIPITATE
