Pretty new to dosing been doing
Kalk. Now I need to dose magnesium. Have some mangroves in the sump that are using it quick. What magnesium product does everyone dose? Kents, seachem or red sea?
 
I think most people use whatever is locally available. Some folks even use epsom salts.
 
I think with kalkwasser and a normal water change regime, epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) can make a fine Mg reagent.

I think Randy has included this in his many write-ups that include magnesium.
 
Magnesium Chloride
Drs. Foster and Smith
Bulk Reef Supply

Magnesium Sulfate
Epsom Salt USP grade from Walmart 5 lb. Bag

I've used all of in my tank to achieve desired results when needed.
