Need DYI Magnesium receipt

[Gungo]

Sooo, never worried about MG before but my tank has grown and magnesium consumption has increased.. I was maintaining it with water changes but can't do weekly at this time. I know BRS will sell the magnesium powder but, they have some rules were they can't sell to people outside of US (I am currently in Dominican Republic). So I need options.. any help?

I'm not sure what you can find locally, but this is the recipe. At the least, I would expect you can probably find Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate)
