10:1 MgCl2 (SafeStep) to MgS04 (Epsom salts) dumped into my water change container. Been doing that since late last fall.

So, you finally decided to start adding Mg....

Same amount as Russell?

And ya, thought I'd play with it, see if it matters.

Yup, Russell put me onto Randy's formula, and no reason to try anything different. I initially had to raise my Mg a bit in my tank so was using 500ml MgCl2 for a couple of water changes. But now, 250ml seems to be enough. This is for a 230g system.

Great, thanks. I get mine on Friday, so next water change will get some Mg

Neh.. just shake your bucket of IO. You will get all the mg that you need.

10:1 mix or 7.25:0.75 mix for people running calcium reactor.

I use brightwell neomag(domolite) in the reactor. but since I am too weak/lazy to shake or turn my bucket of IO. I add mg mix into the nsw.

That's where the problem is. I don't buy buckets, I buy the box. I try to drive really crazy bringing it home, but Mg is still low (I think)
