If that is a copy of the label, then I would say one pill adds what it says, 50 mg K and 40 mg Mg.

Yes its a copy of the label. Im sorry i should clarify but how much ppm would magnesium and potassium increase for 200 gallons from one 80mg pill?

mg divided by 200 gallons divided by 3.7 L/gallon gives mg/L

Is this correct for magnesium then?

30/200/3.7 = 0.041 mg/L per pill added

Not enough to bother adding lol

Thats good inwas more worried about raising it too much. I just wanted the aspartate part not the mag/potassium part so all good. If i added 1000 pills id only raise it by 41ppm so all good.
