I'm looking for a guideline on Randy's Part 3 Magnesium dose to match my Kalkwasser additions similar to the guideline of add magnesium part 3 at about 16% of the dosage of Randy's original part 1 or 2. I did some searching but could not find the answer.

In my example, in addition to two part dosing, I am doing 7 liters of saturated Kalkwasser per day (dosed throughout the day). I have been very suspicious of mag testing results and don't feel I can use them to calculate needed additions.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
 
With my DIY two part, it is 610 mL magnesium part per gallon of alk part.

For limewater, the balanced amount is about 6 mL of the magnesium solution for each gallon of limewater added.

Well, this is embarrassing, I just found Randy's answer to my question and it was in a thread I wrote 2017 :)
Thanks again Randy!
