i have been using your An improved do-it-yourself for some time now.
My question is for the magnesium recipe Epson salt versus the Epson salt and magnesium chloride I just want to know what's the difference when using either or how it affects the tank.
the recipe didn't necessarily state how it affects the tank differently by using just straight Epson salt but it did list the amount of sulfate that would be in there versus chloride and magnesium
I let my numbers drop pretty low while away from my tank and came back to bryopsis after being gone for years and the last time the only way I could get it to go away was when I use tech m magnesium at 1600 ppm for an extended period of time. I got Mg up from 1100 to 1590ppm now but want to maintain 270 gallons of water at that ppm
I think epson salts is probably the easiest and cheapest way. Do you see any reason not to use just 8 cups of epson salts vs BRS mg sulfate and mg chloride?
