Looks like this is the best product for this: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/bulk-magnesium-sulfate-7-pounds-bulk-reef-supply.html

Yes, I know it does increase MG, just did not remember it is almost as high as sulfur. Curious now how much Epsom salt impacts sulfur and magnesium. Maybe a cheaper way to dose after all. Gemini states that to replicate the Fauna dosing solution, 538g of Epsom salt needs to be added to 1,000 ml...

Claude mentioned to me that I could also use Epsom salt when I mentioned to him that sulfur is hard to get in the US. I like to use their products as it links to their calculator which tells me how much I need to dose. Also, I do not think their product is exactly Epsom salt. I only know that...

Yes, good point. Another ‘downside’ of sulfur dosing (in addition to PH suppression) is that from what I understand all (good) sulfur products are magnesium based. I am dosing sulfur twice a week (60 ml) and my MG does not go up beyond where I want it to. So in fact, it serves a dual purpose. I...

Looks peaceful, but someone could detect some evil smile when looking closely.

Yes, unfortunately.

First of all, too low Fluoride is much more common than too much. In fact, I have yet to see someone having too much Fluoride. This appears due to the fact that a lot of salt does not contain enough of it - which from what I have heard is a cost issue of the manufacturer. Otherwise, this is a...

I believe only weak corals are (potentially) impacted by high carbon, primarily dosed with simple carbon solutions such as vinegar and vodka. High FSS parameters should provide enough protection for corals, at least I am not hearing any of these horror stories from folks who run high fluoride...

How are your nitrates now? After 6 month of AWC? How much water is this within a week? And your AWC are with natural seawater, correct?

I like @Blaise006 response, specifically as it relates your biome and the polymer reference, and the food aspect. Also, probably if you are using vodka. TM Elimi NP and FM Bacto Energy should not cause any direct meaningful growth impairments if any, other than (!) by suppressing PH - this...

Yes, this is a good price if they are as a good as folks say. I would still use Reefi and Quanta light as the reference point for light purchase deliberation, not so much Ecotech or ATI (which are known to charge a significant brand premium) - both do not have an ad supported ad and are still...

I have been using an 8 stage RODI with 28 TDS source water, with Cation - Anion - Mixed Bed after the two ROs, and still show silicate at the end (as per recent ICP) with 0 TDS, and the resins did not show a sign of being exhausted (no relevant color change). My guess was that membranes were...

Amazing - 6 second ad before you can use the equipment. I guess this is what Amazon did with some of their tablets, for a reduced price. Do they have an option to pay off the ad feature? Can I ask, how much were these each?

Easier said that done. Reducing phosphate is one thing, reducing nitrate is a different league.

Same here; or the equipment to fail. Seems to be too many moving parts to get the effect right. I did use it before and it works.
