Rather than dosing mag, I occasionally dump a bunch of mag chloride into my mixing water before a water change. I measure tank mag, use brs calculator, and then add that much mag to my mix to bump it back up. I shoot for around 1320, but usually don't bump it until it's 1280 or so.
I have been doing this for quite some time now, with good results. Have yet to see anything that suggests this is any more stressful than a regular water change.
Seems so much easier than messing around with a dosing pump.
Anyone else doing it this way?
How about problems with this approach?
