I’m dosing Alk and Ca using ESV B-Ionic.

Without testing Mg, is there a formula I can use to know how much Mg to dose based on how much Alk/Ca I’m dosing?

Thanks,

-Arthur

I just realized that Component No. 2 already has Mg.

That would depend on which Mg supplement you're going to dose at what concentration. You can utilize testing to determine consumption and then pick a product to dose. Use the labeled dosing amount to raise Mg by to the corresponding desired level.

Edit: in the case that the Mg level is not being maintained by the included concentration within the part-2 you are using, then the above still applies.
