MAG flake, Dowflake in Canada?

Two Canreef vendors: ChemMaster and Bulk Reef Supply sell all the two-part supplements in bulk.

Careful that your Dowflake is not made after December 2005 - as it has 7500x times the amount of bromine in it, which at this point in timeis is unknown on the effects for 2 part dosing regularly. Water changes should be fine apparently.

Magensium Sulfate (Epsom Salts) can accumulate as well - try to get a blend of Magnesium Chloride AND Sulfate. PM me, I know of sources to find it for under $2 a kg USP Food Grade locally.

Good info, although I think the Dec 05 date might be wrong. That is the original estimate date, and DOW had since changed it to sometime in 06.............................IIRC.

I sell mine pre-mixed for $2.25 per lb.

keep in mind that epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) and magnesium hexahydrate are two diffrent things
