I have the 2 part dosing system from BRS.
Reading their instructions online, and watching their videos, it is my understanding that I will first dose calcium and soda ash to bring up my calcium and alkalinity to where I want them, then dose daily to maintain those levels.
But their instructions don’t really talk about magnesium, other than to say that I should dose magnesium in a certain amount after emptying the gallon jugs of calc and alk.
So, my question is, do I need to do an initial dose of magnesium to bring that up to my preferred level? Or does just doing a large dose after depleting calc and alk suffice?
