D.I.Y. Additive

Huiwen, still need to monitor Mg and boost it up once in a while. What some of us are doing is to put dolomite or Grotech MG pro in the CR to help with the MG maintenance. about 10% of the total media in the cr should be the MG supplement.

Trace elements are basically fulfilled if u r using those natural type of CR media like ARM.

Thanks bro, good morning to you

may i know where can i get those "whatnots" to put in the CR that you have suggested

btw, can you spare me some of the funnel weeds that you have in your tank that you consider a pest ? would really like to have one if you don't mind

Thanks,

U can get the Mg Pro from the Blue sign board shop

It's only 1 L, so those with larger CR would need to get more

Getting relatively stable Mg level after adding abt 10% (1/2 bottle) to my CR.

No more dosing of Mg for me

Yo ZeRo,

Thanks for the info, but the blue sign board is near where ?

Cheers,

a lengthier discussion was done earlier here

while, using magnesium sulphate does not seem to have immediate or even short term problems, using magnesium chloride or mixture of both, definitely induces less swing in existing parameters by simple understanding of proportion.

but since most of us do not have acess to MgCl, i guess we have to make do with epsom salt for now as a cheaper option than aquarium-branded prepared magnesium supplements

Rodian i could help you all do a bulk order if you want MGCL
