I checked at a few places in Xenia.
Trupointe/Coorperative - Xenia.
Calcium Chloride $21.50/50# bag in stock
Magnesim Chloride $21.50/50# bag (Must order at least a pallet)
Walmart - Xenia
Prestone Driveway Heat - Calcium chloride pellets $8.47/20# bag in stock
Morton Ice Melt – Calcium chloride $9/20 # bag in stock
Roadrunner (Looney tunes) Ice Melt – Sodium Chloride, Calcium chloride, Magnesium chloride $9/20# bag in stock
Baking soda – $2/4#
None competed with Steve's recommendation and he did all the work for us! I'll be moving to Vanquish and Baking soda.
Looking at my past water test, my magnesium readings have not changed (1380) until I started using IQ Reef Crystals (1500). I have been dosing Ca and Kh daily and perform periodic water changes of 10% every 2 weeks. I normally test Ca, Kh, and Mg just prior to the water change so I can adjust the dose. Should my system be consuming Mg?
Thanks,
Gary
