Cameron,

Good question, we recommend simply adding 6 cups of the mixed mag to your gallon of water and just dose enough to keep your levels adequate. The amount of Mag mixed into the container is not as important as the Alk and Calcium as there is no need to balance the mag ionically with another additive.

Hope that makes sense!
