    What does everyone use to dose Ca and Mg into their tanks?

    Currently I use Kent for both, but depending on the consensus here I may switch to the Epsom Salt/Bulk Reef Supply or other DIY solution.

    Anyone use those DIY ones and have good success with them?

    WOW....BRS seems the route to go! Costs half of what I pay now for additives too!

    Do we as 3reef members get any discount with them?
