This will last you quite awhile, once your Mag is up where you want it

For dosing go to this Reef Chemistry Calculator and select Randy's Recipes 1 and 2 versions A and B
Don't miss the top window where you add your system volume if you want the calculator to actually work

Even though you have a Calcium Reactor, info on the Recipes is here;
An Improved Do-it-Yourself Two-Part Calcium and Alkalinity Supplement System
It'll tell you more about the Mag portion the Recipe

Edit: I didn't realise Randy wrote a separate article just for Mag
Thanks for the link

formula is different when you use calcium reactor.

I just looked into the 10:1 bit
I'm mixing mine 10:6 so there's definately a difference

No idea what the hydration is, just says MgCl on bag. Not sure the data sheet indicated either. Just regular old ice melt. I don't want to dig into the depths of my brain and calculate molecular bonds

Bah, don't worry about the hydrate
I just looked into it. All it means is how much water it contains

I'd say go with your 3 cups of 10:1 for a start
Of course, you'll want to boost your current level as I recall you said it's lowish
