Default Magnesium via calcium reactor?

How well does magnesium supplement like Neo Mag in a calcium reactor work? Or is it easier to just liquid dose?

I find my media keeps my Mg pretty close to 1250, so I don't bother with anything else.

I use ARM media in my ca reactor and it keeps my Mg right around 1300.

if you run a CAL Reactor the Magnesium will always stay in the proper range once dialed in which is 1250-1350.

Actually its really called a Alkalinity Reactor if you must know.

There i was smart for once today.
