I just bought a 10Kg bag for $39

I can get bulk chemicals (buddy owns a chemical company) including Alk (Soda ash), Calcium chloride and mag. Mag Chloride is expensive at roughly $220 per 50 lb bag, but Mag sulfate was cheap at roughly $60 per 50lb bag.

It looks like TimT is the better solution then for Mag Chloride as it would only cost 86ish for a 50lb bag. I wonder if one is pharmaceutical grade which might explain the difference.

I found that as soon as I got my Mg above 1400 I no longer got that film algae on my glass as often. Scrape once a week instead of once a day now.
