Ok, if i understand the magnesium sulphate is added anywhere and replaced by sodium sulfate in the alkalinity ?Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean by added anywhere. It cannot go in either part of a two part.

Sodium sulfate would be put in the alk part if you want to make a true two part as opposed to a three part.

Sorry about that Randy. I was assuming that's what he meant

Yes, he probably meant "can't be" added anywhere.

just got a few questions for this one.

1. why is it important for coral to have ionic balanced water?
2. what is affected in coral if the water is not ionic balanced?
3. how is jim welsh's 2 part that covers alk,cal.mag with only 2 solutions different to tropic marin as per this link? which is 3 part and doesnt cover magnessium?
