If you need magnesium, you can use this diy, or most commercial mag supplements.

And if I were to get some at BRS? There’s a couple options looks like the chloride/sulfate ratios are different… didn’t know if one was better than the other to dose daily and have on hand while dosing Kalkwasser

BRS uses my recipes, and you should use the one in the article I posted, which is about 10:1. The article explains the different ratios.

In BRS lingo, thats the general one.
