Need help with BRS 2-part

[carnut]

20 oz of mag seems high in a 40 gallon tank. you only want to add enough that you don't raise your mag count more than 50 per day. IE from 1000 to 1050.


Go on the brs website, use the reefcalculator at the top of the page, it will tell you what they think you should does of their product.

to raise your mag 50 you need to does 5.4 oz

According to the Reef Calculator I need to add 5 times as much Calcium as Alkalinity. Do I ignore the 1:1 ratio until I get everything to the proper levels? It seems that is the case but I have no experience dosing and don't want to crash my tank. Should I simply add each chemical independently, adding no more than their maximum recommended daily dose until I reach the recommended levels, and then switch to 1:1 dosing?

I think I will add Magnesium according to my test results rather than add the whole pack as they instruct.

ya, I don't see how they could even give you a perfectly portioned pre-pack.
