I used 5:3 Magflake to epson salts because that's what I had already mixed up, its one of Randy's Mg maintence formulas. Worked fine but I had to bring my Mg level up to over 2000ppm. I've been bryopsis free for about 3 months now but my Mg is still at about 1700 ppm. The only coral I've noticed effected is my frogspawn which looks a little pale.
