I guess a bad batch got out of IO and it's impossible to track because they don't have batch numbers on buckets.

It's not going to kill anything but many people are reporting Ca at 380 and MG at 1100
So Drs foster and smith are sending supplements to boost these numbers up if you have a bad bucket.

Just a heads up..

Thanks... I have about 10 buckets sitting in my garage, this should be fun.

I know... I had 2 buckets and I just bought 5 more in November.
I haven't checked them all but of the 3 so far, CA was 400 or above.
I need to do a water change before I can mix and test the rest.
I don't have a MG test kit so no values for that.
