You are sure about this? Once again, Randy Holmes Farley has said that you should keep an eye on these levels. If there was no reason to worry about it increasing why would he mention it? But that is me interpreting a chemist and what he is saying.

ok Darren just a couple things [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] if you are going to use parts of that article put the whole paragraph in as what you quoted is very very misleading. what the whole post said is

"Dolomite, as you know, contians both calcium and magnesium carbonate. I don't really see a big problem with it, but maybe a little one. It's possible that as it slowly dissolves, the magnesium level may rise, and you might want to take a measurement of the magnesium once in a while to make sure it isn't rising too high.

I'd expect that routine water changes would keep it in check, and a big one would certainly correct it if for some reason the sand were dissolving fairly fast."

also one more thing if you check into all thoes posts on RC (I have) 90% of them are talking about dolomite gravel (large stuff). now weather this makes a difference or not.. I don't know.
