I second this. Cheap and effective.

What he said although I just buy the mg chloride and mix in my own mg sulfate (epsom salts) but he does sell the premixed mg which is what I would recommend for you. I try and keep my mg at about 1400 ppm. It is a very easy item to dose.

1400 is a good number.

I aim for 1380.

I have used epsom salt, but I now use Kent liquid Magnesium. It's pretty darn cheap I'd say.

put some fauna marine mag in your cacium reactor 10% of your media.. keeps my levels perfect

I haven't got a calcium reactor. Up until a month or so ago my Calcium levels were just fine doing water changes, but lately they have been slipping and I have not been able to get anything but precipitate in my wc water using suppliments, so my best guess is that I need more Mg (I know, buy a test kit first, I will, ) I think I will try out this Mg you guys are talking about and order some in soon as I have some spare cash. Anyone interested in doing a group order? I'm in Red Deer.
