How much magnesium chloride will dissolve into a given amount of pure H20? My 225g sps is really running thru the magnesium lately and want to automate the dosing with a litermeter pump. I want to create a few gallons of saturated magnesium solution at a time. I am currently using the magnesium chloride from BulkReefSupply

Thanks
Mike

Magnesium chloride is incredibly soluble, and I would not try to make a saturated solution. You can make close to a 50 weight percent solution if you want to, but there's rarely a need for that.

ok, i'll guess I will have to play with making a standard solution that will work for what I need.

Thanks (also thanks for designing new meds to keep me in a job,lol)
