[daugherty]

[RyanG]

Mine is going fair, I had some initial die off overnight and now need to raise mine up another 100ppm

Ryan are the directions on the mag supplement you are using good because the sera marin I tried I had no idea how much I was adding.

 

[Alexander]

My results are not really there yet. I may bump up the mag again tonight. There was one spot that seemed to die off and thats all i have noticed so far.

 

[RyanG]

Alto my product is DIY from Randy Holmes-Farley, there is a calculator for just about any product made. Google Randy's two part recipe and there is a link to the calculator there.

 

[daugherty]

how is the elevated mag going is it working?

 

[RyanG]

I would definately say there is improvement but its still not gone, its getting better though.

 

[daugherty]

thanks for the update

Well due to me not having immediate availability to the magnesium Hexahydrate I picked up a bottle of Kent Tech M. Im going to post some picks of what my tank looks like before I start dosing with the Tech-M just to show that the DIY magnesium DOES work. Ill be switching back to the DIY route when I make a Bulk Reef Supply order.

Dude that sucks Ryan, I feel for ya.

Yeah I bought a 2000 buick regal gs(the one with the supercharged 3.8). When I bought it I knew it needed a tranny line, brake line and that it needed two tires. Thats no big deal at all, well when we started changing the transmission lines we find water. NOT GOOD! So we decide we have it on the lift, might as well drop the trans pan we find LOTS OF WATER! UCK! So I need to at the bare minimum get a new radiator, the transmission cooler is part of the radiator and must have a cracked line there. Worst case scenario is we have to rebuild the tranny. My brother in law and his roomate are helping with the repairs, they are the guys that find this crap funny. Not helping. The goodthing is that his roomate is a 30 year buick mechanic so I get all of the parts at cost. I also have to replace the crank position sensor. What the hell did I get myself into!

Wow thats a major difference! I'm gonna try this as my hair algae has been breaking my balls since my vacation last month.

 

[RyanG]

For my DIY recipe I use this

http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Calcium,-Alkalinity-&-Magnesium-Magnesium/c1_4/index.html

and empsom salts.

Like I said previously I ran out of the Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate and am switching to the Kent Tech M that Alexander has been using. When my half gallon of that is out Ill be going back to DIY. Much much cheaper.

 

[yote]

Thats a hell of a difference Ryan.
And I think I would whip somebody over that transmission.

Its my own fault, I was in a hurry to get a different vehicle, went in and acted like a tire kicker and got wrapped up in a conversation with the guy. Im pissed off about it but Buyer Be Ware, has been a saying for a very long time for a very good reason. But in all reality who checks the tranny for water, even when you pulled the dipstick it didnt show, that didnt appear until we cut the tranny line to replace them. Then my day went downhill....fast!
