2 Part Dosing
Just want to check my numbers here. I am going to be mixing my solutions in 2 litre jugs. So all my ingredients are cut in half.
Calcium - 1 cup Anhydrous Calcium Chloride Alkalinity - 1 cup Sodium Carbonate Magnesium - 2.5 cup Magnesium Chloride 1.5 cups Magnesium Sulfate or 4 cups Magnesium sulfate As for the Magnesium solution is one mix better then the other? Thanks. |

I can't verify the quantities right now... But as for the magnesium, most people use the one with two ingredients. That all sulfate recipie would only be a minor concern if you never did water changes as sulfate levels would rise. Sulfate is still a major portion of the 2 mag recipe anyway

Ok got my doser setup to dose Calcium and Alkalinity but have a question about magnesium. J&L sell Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Chloride Flake. The two are the same thing just in different form, so why is here a price difference between the two? Do you have to weigh the flake? or can it be measured? Does the flake dissolve as well as the powder? Is the price difference worth it? Thanks all.

When you get the mag chloride, get some mag sulphate (epsom salt) from costco. Its the cheapest. Mix as in the given recipe above.
Sorry, I don't know the difference betw. the powder and the flake. |
