Dosing Mg

[Madreefer]

I picked up mine from Amco. The epsom salts from Shoppers Drug Mart. I add a half a cup of the mixture to 5G of freshwater for my reservoir. Stays consistant at 1350. Whatcaneyedo is the dude that got me on to this. I'm pretty sure he adds a cup of the mixture to his water change but dont quote me on that. Shoot him a PM he's pretty helpful. Good luck bro

Thanks. Don't think we have an Amco wholesale in the lower mainland. Anybody know where I can get the Easy Start here?

Every time I read these threads, I'm almost tempted to measure my Mg

Are you suggesting I should hold off? I sure would like to.

What gets me is my Mg was running at 1260 before I raised it to 1350, and then a month+ later it is back to 1260??

And I should add that my Ca and Alk have been stable all along with my dosing. Maybe I should leave the Mg alone?

No, suggesting I should get off my lazy ass and test my Mg

I've overdosed my Mg before and played around with it alot trying to combat bryopsis. I've also brought it up by way over 100ppm in a day. It's really not a big deal as if you were dosing Ca. Worrying just makes you lose sleep. Unrelated to you but on side note, I might add that this wont work on bryopsis thats just the Kent stuff.
