Thanks to Russel (whatcaneyedo), I now have my own bag of Safe Step MgCl2. Yesterday, I did my 1st water change including a 500 ml dose of the MgCl2 and a 50 ml dose of MgS04 (Epsom Salts). Everything looks good today, and it raised my overall Mg by about 60 ppm to 1350 (checked before and after) which is about what I expected.

I will dose the same amount the next couple water changes (every 3 weeks) and try to raise it over 1400. If/when it gets to 1450, I will reduce the dosing amount accordingly.

Thanks again, Russel. You were a great help.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
