|   You guys are dorks.  For one, IO clumps up, so rolling it makes it easier to get it out.  Usually, the chemicals don't separate out, but sometimes it is an issue.  I test every single bucket top and bottom for the last 10 years or so.  I've had a handful of buckets of IO with high Mg at the top and low Mg on the bottom - it's really happened!  Furreals!   IO and IORC are the only ones I roll.  H2Ocean and Tropic Marin are packed tightly in bags, and I've never tested a bucket with settling issues.  I only test the "big three" though.

|   I think Mike told Brad to put a banana in it to relieve his cramps.  I use Midol, but whatever works I guess. Last edited by Myka; 12-14-2015 at 01:41 PM. |

|   Muscles, most notably legs, can get cramps if you're low on potassium.

|   Okay, the OP is prolly rolling his eyes by now wondering if any further advice on helping get mag level in his fish tank to desired number will be forthcoming! We should oblige mes amis, non?

|   Just keep adding mag supplements to the tank its takes a lot to raise it like mine was recently 900 and wanted to get it back and I had to add over 5L off bulk mag mixed up over the course of a week to raise it
