No you can still add it. I orginally added the zeomag, mixing it with the tlf media at the suggested ratio. After it didn't work, and adding the rest of the bag. I just placed the neomag on top. Works fine.

Would it be to late to add Magnesium media to the existing media?

Bear in mind that you can never use this media to raise magnesium levels, only to maintain them against loses due to calcification.

The reason for that it releases one carbonate for each magnesium ion, and so if one wants to raise magnesium by 100 ppm, the alkalinity will necessarily rise by 8.2 meq/L (23 dKH).

What is ideal for calibrating your PH probe in your CA reactor? Every Month?
