Yes, that is right. Epsom Salt is high purity MgSO4. It is very cheap, like <$5 dollars for a ~4 lb. bag at Walmart in the pharmacy area. In my own and my maintenance accounts, Epsom Salt(despite its limitations), along with Kent Coral-Vite is all I use for occasional Mg supplementation.

On the container it says to mix 5 cups of magnesium chloride and 3 cups of magnesium sulfate so should i stick with same recipe by adding 5 cups of chloride and 3 cups of epsom salt? What brand epsom salt did you use and where to buy it locally?

Yes, Just mixed some up this week. A 64 ounce bag then add RO/DI water to make a gallon of volume. Takes a lot of shaking to get it to dissolve.]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 07:30:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81012&PID=617805&title=mixing-magnesium#617805 <![CDATA[Mixing magnesium : I have a gallon of magnesium chloride...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81012&PID=617803&title=mixing-magnesium#617803 Author: Hirfan

I have a gallon of magnesium chloride from BRS and i was told i can use epsom salt as a part b to mix it. Has anyone done this before or knows how much epsom salt i need to mix to make up for magnesium sulfate.
