Well its been a week and all is well. By adding 1 tsp a day of this magnesium mix I brought the magnesium level up to 1550 by Saturday so I've stopped adding it. Nitrate and Phosphate are undetectable. I also talked with someone else in town here who has been using this product on his tank for several months without any problems. However he did warn me about using epson salts from costco. He said that the one time he used it his ORP dropped right down and stayed quite low for several days. I dont recall exactly what it went to but I'll take his advice regardless. According to him, Walmart sells a more pure epson salt so I'll have to go check that out.

I'll begin using Melt Down on my display tank and post again in this thread if something should happen in the future.
