You guys have no idea what we are talking about.

AT,

It should be safe to use but monitor the Mg level every 10 tablespoon. When mixing, decrease the amount of salt or increase the amount of water if you find precipitate but I think that will be rare. I've used a tablespoon to about 300mL before without problems. I think it can take maybe 2-3 too.

So far i only added one test vial full..not sure how much to add..the dosing instructions just seem so complex.

I quote

'Each level measuring beaker will increase the magnesium concentration of 10 liter(2.5 gallons) of water with approx. 300mg/l (ppm)'

Hmm...so if my tank is around 200 liters and I want to increased Mg conc. by 300 ppm...then I must add 20 measuring beakers of salt?!

That sounds ALOT to me..thats why till now I only added 1 beaker....

In the case of Mg, you will have to add a lot. A lot, a lot. Magnesium sulphate crystals are mostly water.

I have used Epsom salt for the past 6 months and so far so good, I used itsparingly though around 4 teaspoons once every 2 weeks.

It dissolves better in moderately hot water
