When I dose magnesium should I do it at a different time than when I do my Alk and calcium? I'm not sure because I know you are supposed to do alk and calcium at opposite times of day.
 
Personally, when I dose, I try to space everything out a bit to allow them to dissipate a bit before adding next Chem. Not sure if it matters but that's just my take.
 
If you need to dose Mg, I would do it before you dose either the Ca or alk, since its what keeps them from precipitation out of solution.
