LOL, I knew it was more than 5 cups but couldn't remember. Thanks Elias! I add the 8 cups as my mag is already mixed together (I use a half cup to add it and sometimes I lose count :razz:)

I'm still working through his batch of magnesium mix(I went a little nuts on the order as he was shutting down and I didn't know where else to get it, so I have a ton!) and its totally fine.

I'm using 5 and half (not sure where I got that number from though). But you can pretty much add whatever you like and just watch your levels and dose accordingly :biggrin:

my current ER250 has a genx pump. My older ER, the CS6-3 had a dolphin pump which was exactly the same as (and I think made by) Sedra

I know OA sells Sedra pumps, talk to Wendell :)

sedra? I know my ER takes the sedra 9000 impeller, I think the Sedra is about the same size/shape as the pump that was on it.

Just measured it from my kit and its close to a very loosely packed half teaspoon. I don't think its a big deal if you OD a little bit. Or maybe do like 3/4 of a half teaspoon?
