I picked up some bulk Magnesium Chloride. This is now recommended over Magnesium Sulfate (epsum salts) to raise magnesium.
See article: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php
I'm already using it with great success.
I could only get it in large quanities. So I have extra. I can sell two ten-pound packages of it. I'll sell it at cost. I paid $1 per pound, so $10 a package.
I will also consider trading for frags. I'd love a rose milli frag.
I live in Citrus Park.

FWIW...anyone using a "store bought" 2 part additive really needs to look in to using Randy's receipe.
I have used it for about a year, go through about a quart of both parts every 2 - 3 weeks. Cost for me is about $1 per month instead of $25 - $30 and results are exactly the same.
Shawn - I was busy all weekend but I may have a chance to pick up mine this evening, I'll give you a call later.

hey college I have been using this stuff for a few years and have also been successful. the actual thing to do is a 10-1 mixture of magnesium chloride and sulfate. this is supposed to be the best balance at least. this is per randy last time I checked and a few others I have read. I have about 15 lb myself or I would take it. is it pellet or flake?

Yes. I understand the mix from the article. I am using the mix as recommended by Randy.
It is flake.
