Well, I couldn't help myself and tested Mg today. Ha ha. .
Um....can I change my vote? Yes, I bother. Yes, I test. Sometimes it's okay, other times I need to dose. Today it's okay.

Cheers,

It wasn't an option in the Vote, but I dose with Mg, and don't test. Adding the right amount to the WC water is all I do, with great results so far.

Using your recipe has saved me from dealing with alot headaches. If I hadn't started using it, I'd be struggling with one parameter or another, and trying to figure all the chemistry out on my own. Many thanks from a newbie!
