That formula would be used only for maintaining the magnesium level. For raising it, calcium chloride alone should be okay. |
Thanks for the link, in your last sentence did you mean to say magnesium chloride rather than calcium chloride?
I don't have any espom salts. I will probably purchase some dr foster magnesium chloride for the short term to raise it, then later get dr foster magnesium sulfate to form a ratio for maintaining the magnesium in my maintenance schedule.
Is Arm and Hammer baking soda cheaper than a $10 3.5LB bottle of calcium bicarbonate from Dr fosters?
