Default Does-anyone use Schlobster 2 part for dosing?

I tried to find reviews on Schlobster bulk dosing powder (comes in 1G/3x1G pre portioned packets) that you just mix with water.

Do anyone of you guys use this stuff? if so is it working well for Calcium/Alkalinity?

Works great for me. Same as the BRS stuff. Mixes clear quickly.

I use Shlobster on one tank, and C-balance on the other tank and don't notice any difference. That's a probably a good thing

I heard the Shlobster Mag Cloride doesn't stay mixed/or has sediment when mixed with Epsom Salts.
Anyone else experience this?

Just want to clarify this as I've heard otherwise ... so no sediment with the mag chloride? Do you mix it with grocery store epsom salts?
