	I'm using less of the new stuff than the old Seachem and Brightwell's powders I used to use 105+ ml/day of Alk/Ca and 60ishml of Mag I'm now using (give or take) 70ml each of Alk/Ca and about 10ml of Mag This 2-part stuff is potent and saving me big money annually I've dropped my annual dosing costs from $140-50 to $30 or so I've recently received numerous PMs asking where I buy my stuff, so here you go; Epsom Salts 4Kg for $8 and Baking Soda 2Kg for $4 @ Walmart Calcium Chloride (Dowflake Xtra) 20Kg for $26 @ Home Hardware Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate 10Kg for $39 from Canreef member TimT TimT has other sizes and prices, so contact him for more buying options  |

	I've stopped using DowFlake Xtra. I just wasn't comfortable using something sold as 'ice melter' and 'dust controller' in my tank. I'm now using J&L's Shlobster brand Calcium Chloride  |
