Do you need to raise the tank ppm quickly? like 100 per day? cause i think this slow increase its feeding off it? someone please advise that had luck with epsom slat alone, thanks. Or do i need to go get tech m? from this point out.

Also i have a 120 gallon tank, it says 1ml per galllon thats for me 120 mls to raise it 18? inother wards a half gallon that has roughly 480ml i can only raise the tank about 80ppm for 14.99? can that be correct? seems so exspensive to raise using tech m?

god i hate this stufff....!!!!!!!
If you only use Epsom Salts for such an increase your Sulphate Ion will increase too much in proportion to the Chloride and Sodium Ions.
Try adding either Tech-M or use Magnesium Chloride (MagFlake) mixed with Epsom.
