Dosing Magnesium and Calcium

[RaisingTinyHobbits]

I've been battling SCA Dinoflagellates for the last six months off and on, using the protocol from Mack's Dinos group on facebook. As part of the treatment they recommend not doing water changes, but as a result my magnesium and calcium just keep getting lower. Is it better for me to dose something like Nyos Ion-B with both of them together or dose them separately?

Dosing separately is better as it allows you to control and tweak your levels

Are you dosing alkalinity? If not, calcium and magnesium are not likely needed.
