I am thinking molasses, epsom salt. I want mag in there. It would give me sulphur as well if I am correct.
So the key is how to concentrate it to something that could be added to a res in a very consistant manor.
I am thinking heating a gallon of water and for every once of water adding 1 gal in the final res worth of molasses and epsom. That would give me 128 gallons worth of additive. 1oz per gallon.
Now what I need is the "right amount" of epsom and sugar per gallon. Consider this will be used from beginning to flush, and being added on top of MagiCal (or Cal Mag+) from the start.
Sugar Daddy label also gives us some very helpful info:
*1.6%- 10ml yeilds 42.5 ppm mag in a gallon of H2O
*contains 2% Cane Sugar in the bottle
I am thinking of adding a little citric acid to help stabilize (??) and for its flavor additive qualities.
Somehow keeping it in the fridge seems good to since there are no preservatives. Could cause percipitation though.
I know there are some folks here who have taken a good amount of chem, and more recent chem then me. . so I would love some assistance calculating the proper dosages from this info.
One less bottle $65 to buy at the store.
