Magnesium Sulfate - Magnesium Chloride Flakes

Can someone please tell me what is the difference in these two products, and which one I need to add to my tank?

my Mg is low at 1000 or so my test kit says... it could be and old test kit... but I have noticed a slow down the the coral growth and the coraline algea growth...

Is it possible that I need to ad both type of Mg?

Thanks!

Using both is best. Magnesium chloride alone is second best. I discuss these issues here:
