thanks shawn
first of all are you just trying to maintain your Mg or correct a low Mg, if you are trying to corect a low Mg use a pure Mg supplement not a 2 part system or you will throw your other chemicals out of wack also. I have safly raised Mg by 500 PPm over 2 days but to be safe do 100 ppm a day.

I use the seachem Mg and mix it with warm RO water in a super saturated mix (about 1 cup per gal) then I add it to my sump and check my levels again the next morning. a good idea might be to do this using 1/2 a cup and see how much that raises your Mg, then you will know how much you need to add to get you to the right area.
