How much Magnesium to dose?
Work has slowed me down previously but now I have the time to start setting up the dosing regiment.
Currently my levels are low, and I realize that it is best to raise Mg first, before tackling the others. Recently I purchased bulk magnesium from reefsupplies.ca, the magnesium chloride/sulfate mix: http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...-1-Gallon.html At a current level of 1150ppm; I would like to raise/keep it at 1350ppm. The problem is, the product didn't come with a chart on the proper level/dosage. There's two bags of stuff, one MgCl and the other MgSO. It says the two bags make 1 gallon of solution but that doesn't really help how much volume I should dose? It does say it's 5 part MgCl and 3 part MgSO. Is there a proper online calculator which will allow me to see how much to dose? Thanks! (total water volume is ~200g) |
I use the BRS calculator on their site. Works for me. I mix BRS mgcl with Walmart Epsom salts. Saves some money in the end, and mixes very good.

Not sure if it helps but i believe bulk reef supply may have an online calculator for that. It will be suited to their product but may give you a general target

The thing with the BRS calculator is, they have dosage for MgCl, MgSO, and then a "BRS Mix Solution" which I cannot verify is the same product as the stuff I got from reefsupplies, so at the moment I am stuck.

That's the same thing Brian, just use that one. All the chemicals are the same, no matter where they come from. Just the grade is different.
|
To be clear... Use the mix solution one.

I think that the mix one is just the 5 part / 3 part pre measured out.
|
Yup. Both have the same mix ratio.

BRS mixing directions for two part
5 cups magnesium chloride & 3 cups magnesium sulfate in one gallon fill with rodi
