I was under the Impression L.A. is Now a Stand alone Co or will be. The manager at my local PetCo told me that DFS was being Sold or is in the process. I see LA is now carrying all the dry goods DFS carries. Why the redundancy.
That's interesting.

I end up having to bump mag a lot with IO. So it’s kind of a pain. I would use tropic marine pro, but it’s almost double the price.
Do they still use one big bag in the box?
How high do you try to keep magnesium?
IO typically has NSW levels.
The benefit of smaller bags is that you can use the entire bag and not worry about settling or dry mixing. Lots of people complain about inconsistent mixes, but most of the time, they had a big bucket and used just a little at a time and it settled.
I also get very good Mag levels from IO. I have to add a bit of Dowflake to bring the calcium up... and a bit of Mutaric to lower the alk, but then otherwise the stuff has been on the money for decades.
Usually get a box, and put those into a bucket, but I am not rolling it around prior to adding.I get 1290 to 1310 mag out of IO, but I do use a whole 50g bag at a time. Are you dry mixing the salt before you use it?
1250-1350. Not huge at chasing a specific # with mag, but within that range. Was getting,closer to 12 with IO, and it takes a lot of mag to bring it up 50ppm
I think about 1300 mg/L is the target for IO at 35 ppt. Maybe your salinity is lower than 35 ppt (sg ~1.0264?)
