my mg drop

[kareen]

3/4 teaspoon. for my 2 feet tank.

Using the previous link I post, how much you need to add to bring up to recommended value? How it is added in? These are the only problems I can think of..... To me, if 3/4 teaspoon is to bring up from low to recommended level, then I will do it in days...... (only you yourself know how much your tank vol and Mg level)

bro, i kno 3/4 teaspoon wont bring up the mg to recommended value. but i was worried add in that in 1 shot will create shock to the life stock. so how u think? do i have to add it everyday? or i should make it in 1 shot??? need ur advice!

Don't try to add over dose MG to boost up to the required amount, it will upset the system. I did it slowly alternate days and after a week plus it got back to normal and my calcium too. I strongly advice you guys to be patient. Try to look for 3 party opinion from the experts in the net or books. Experts, I meant ppl who are did Marine studies for many years not those trial and error type.

Good luck and seek true knowedge

Well, there are numerous place you can get them. One bro here has post the link and the price list, isn't it? If that place is far from your place, then at any pharmacy like Guardian, NTUC healthcare also have. Tell them you want EPSOM salt and not magnesium sulphate. BTW, these are the places I got mine from 'cos lazy to go faraway place lah....

I bought epsom salt about a few months back and haven't used it.Still not convinced the sulphate accumulation will not have adverse effects.Would appeciate if any bro been using epsom salt regularly to give his/her views.

I have been using it and have not seen adverse effect with 1-3 months of water change schedule. This is what I normally do.... say I had 1100ppm Mg, 370ppm Cal and 8dKH. I will top up Mg, say 100g EPSOM first, top up Cal say 2tsp CaCl, then top up say 1tsp buffer. And then do some measurement and repeat the cycle..... I notice that if I concentrate on uping the Mg first, the corals not so favourable but if I up everything slowly, even the readings is still low, corals are more happy.

Just my observation.
