Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate question

I found a local company that can get me an 80 lb bag of magnesium chloride hexahydrate for $50. The MSDS lists the following:

FORUMLA: MGCL2-GH20 (Mag Flake)

The manufacturer is listed as GSL Minerals Corporation in Ogden, Utah.

So I'm just wondering if you have any opinion on this source / manufacturer?

Thanks!
Randy

I don't know anything about it, sorry. It might be OK, but I can't be sure.

Well, I dug this up related to these products from the Great Salt Lake region. Seems that it would be best to avoid it I think. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...37#post4024237
