Combining Calcium Chloride and Epsom Salts.
 
Hi Guys,

I occasionally have to correct my mag and calcium as it drifts from its range even though I'm dosing a 3 part.

I usually use about 100gr calcium and 500gr Epsom Salt. I usually correct Mag first and then drip calcium the next day.

AF once used to combine mag and calcium in their part 1 and has since moved it to part 3, and was wondering if I could combine the calcium and Epsom Salts together and drip at once.

Any drawbacks or suggestions i should be aware off?

I would expect a lot of calcium sulfate to precipitate. The precipitate would dissolve in the tank, but it'd make a mess of the drip.

Ok thanks will dose them separately.
