How much Magnesium to dose?

[cblair]

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 don't disagree. It's just that I am unsure if the reefsupplies (which is 5 part MgCl, 3 part MgSO) is the same as the BRS Mg Mix (which doesn't say anything about the ratio of the mix, which if different from the reefsupplies one, then it would throw the calculator off).

5 cups magnesium chloride & 3 cups magnesium sulfate in one gallon fill with rodi

What type of salt are you using for water changes? May be able to boost the magnesium by using RC instead of IO for instance instead of dosing.
