Using Mag Flake in your 2-part

[radone]

Hi Randy,
Can I use this as a stand alone or should the epsom salts be used in the mixture?

In the reef chemistry calculator, which magnesium do I use?
I've been using the Randy's Recipe 1&2 Magnesium, my mag usually runs between 1280 to 1350, my target is 1350.

Where is the new recipe?

Thank you

With the two part system, use the recipe described in the two part article. The sulfate of the Epsom salts is desirable for sulfate maintenance. Otherwise chloride from the calcium chloride and the magnesium chloride builds up too much.

The calculator entry will work about the same for any of my recipes, as the magnesium concentration is roughly the same.

Cool, after re reading the reefkeeping article again only about the twentith time now it finally made sense.

Thank You Randy:D
