Ideally you want to use a mix of 10 to 1 Magnesium Chloride (MagFlake) to Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts).
If you will be using MagFlake be easy on it and do not increase magnesium more than 50 ppm per day and watch for Ammonia which might be the other negative effect. Although MagFlake has been safe to use it is produced using a process with Ammonia. Limiting the daily increase will give the system a chance to process any ammonia that may be present.

Help me out here because I'm getting conflicting information. Check out this
thread in which its suggested that only MgSO4 (Epson salts) should be used.
So who's right?
FYI, I just started using 5:3 Magflake to Epson Salts to test this method against my own bryopsis.
Edit: I just relized (post posting) that you had already commented in that thread
