Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Sulfate

Which Mag is beter to use?

Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Sulfate

Or would the best option be mixing the two.

Trying to decide the best option for my bulk order of 3 part mix for the tank, thanks.

If you are looking for a stand alone supplement, not used in conjunction with a DIY two part system, a 10:1 mixture is best, followed by magnesium chloride alone as a second best bet.

I discuss them all here:
