sorry chris. Yes its Mg2+, but still the Cl- ion outnumber the Na+. The formula on the two part site states: 2 NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 so basically you end up wit half the amount of sodium bicarb. So if you use washing soda you only need half the amount.

Hey spykes, if its to offset the sulfates, why not just use magnessium chloride entirely and not the eposion salts? Where exactly are the sulfates entering?
