Home Depot in Copiague/Amityville just got a shipment of MAG flakes in. They're outside by the gardening stuff in the middle of the aisle if anyone is interested.

You gotta make a 2 part, like B-Ionic. There's a thread in the Chemistry forum I'll try to find for you.

I went back and checked out Jose's calculator that Mike linked, that thing is GREAT!!!!

I've used randys 2 part for a while now and it works great for me and is ridiculously cheap compared to the store bought 2 parts. And for what I spent on one bottle of Kent Magnesium, You can basically buy a lifetime supply by buying one bag of MAG flakes! Things cost enough in this hobby!!
The calculator is a great tool, its one of those things I wish I knew of when I first started!

that calculator is sweet. have to run to home depot today now.

 

[MIKE NY]

no problem Larry...edit away.......I'm just glad it's working for everyone to use.

mike you need to post some pics of your tank. i am curious how its come alone. haven't seen it since the last tank tour a year or to ago.

 

[onegreenray]

is this the bag you bought? it says it only contains mag chloride?

 

[MIKE NY]

Ray before you use it check out what else is in it....I'm not familiar with that package. I'm using the stuff from Dead Sea Works that Randy recommended.....yea I gotta post up some recent pics..the tank changed alot over two years after my battles with red bugs and dinos....

 

[onegreenray]

i posted it in the chemistry forum.let you know what they think. it also says on the back contains mag chloride.

 

[MIKE NY]

we just got a few pallets of that stuff at HD...I don't know whats in it, but it's brown...I wouldn't use it. I asked about the Dead Sea stuff they had previous years and was told that they got a better deal on this.
