I got calcium and magnesium test kits the other day and was surprised to find my calc and mg levels a little on the low side. Here's all the results:
Also, I was looking at Seachem's dosage calculator on their website and according to it, I'll need to add 625g of magnesium powder to get the mg from 1050 to 1300ppm.. That's more than an entire pot of the stuff! Is it true I'm gonna need that much or could there be an error with their calculator?
Finally, if I do get both those, would it be okay to make a mix with both of them in the same container and then drip that into the tank over a period of time so it doesn't go in too fast?
Thanks for any advice!
