Use epson salts!

I used to use epson salt until I read this:

http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/oct2003/chem.htm

"Epsom Salts (USP grade magnesium sulfate heptahydrate) is readily available in drug stores and very inexpensive. The problem is that if you were to raise magnesium by a large amount (or a small amount several times) the aquarium water will become relatively enriched in sulfate. This enrichment may not be a problem for some aquaria, especially those using salt mixes already deficient in sulfate,15 or those that experience frequent water changes. Bingman21 has addressed these enrichment issues and has suggested a recipe for home made supplements based on Epsom Salts and magnesium chloride. The problem is in getting the latter in adequate purity."

Can any one get us some magnesium chloride?

 

[Sean]

epson salt is magnesium sulfate

basically you could raise your sulfate level higher that nsw

where ESV has a balanced proportions of chloride' sulfate and other Ions

you can get away with it for a short run but,
you can precipitate calcium sulfate from the tank water if the sulfate level goes to high

calcium sulfate basically is plaster of paris
