These are great for small or low-demand tanks, but ...

My tank is demanding more, so I'm currently switching over to Randy's 2-part. I'm calculating a potential savings of $100/yr
I bought;
Epsom Salts and Baking Soda @ Walmart
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate from Big Al's Online
Calcium Chloride @ Home Hardware

I'd run a Calcium Reactor, but for now it's not in the budget
Maybe next year

Calcium Choride from Home Hardware?... Hmmm, might have to check that out.
Do you use Baking Soda as is, or do you bake it or something?

My road salt MgCl2 has been good, so don't need anymore of that. I manually dose it with my water change together with my Epsom Salts.
