    I use BulkReefSupply.com 2-part and magnesium. I use two brs dosing pumps to dose 36ml a night of calcium and alk. I love their products. The only thing I don't enjoy is having to mix the product once a month.

    I drip kalk in my ato. It's controlled by a redundant float switch set up. This keeps my Ca & Alk levels very consistent between weekly water changes. Much like other have stated, my Mag levels remain consistent via the water changes using ESV 4-part seawater system salt.

    I also dose MB7 and Reef bio-fuel on alternating days however the results are not great. I have much more clear water than without yet this dosing does not help with nutrient export the way I had hoped.
