Me, I include Mg in my bi-weekly tests and I correct it then and there if it is below 1350.

Good thread! Anyone out there using Epsom salts for Mg supplimentation? It would be by far the cheepest way to do it. Also, I've had this lingering question for a while about ARM media. I don't have a Ca reactor, but would would the effects be of throwing ARM media in a filter bad in my sump?

Read the Mg article. It will tell you why not to use Epsom salts alone to raise Mg.
