Epsom Salts available at your pharmacy is a MUCH cheaper method and your tomatoes will like it too!

You gotta keep us in the loop Greg as to how that works. I'm upping my Mg dosing as well to see if I can get rid of this Dictyota algae in my tank. But with the BRS Mg they have a calculator right on their website to figure it all out. Hopefully we shall both prevail!
