With two part dosing why do we dose magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride. What I understand is that the Mag sulfate builds up the sulfate levels over time so why not just dose Mag chloride?
When you use a two-part, you normally are using calcium chloride to raise your calcium level. If you use just Magnesium Chloride, then this may throw your chloride out of balance. To properly balance your sulfide and chloride, when using a two-part, you should mix your Mag. supplement at a ratio of 5 cups to 3 cups, magnesium chloride to magnesium sulfide by volume.
"Dissolve Epsom salts (3 cups) and magnesium chloride hexahydrate sold by the Dead Sea Works company (5 cups) in enough purified freshwater to make 1 gallon total volume. There will likely be a precipitate that forms even if you fully dissolve both ingredients separately. That precipitate is calcium sulfate (calcium as an impurity in the magnesium chloride and sulfate from the Epsom salts). It is fine and appropriate to dose the precipitate along with the remainder of the fluid by shaking it up before dosing."
