I'm using the ESV Two Part. I'm waiting for the Tropic Marin One Part to become available in bulk so I can check the reviews on it

The ESV Two Part is currently making me a little nuts. The Calcium half of the Two Part supposedly also has Magnesium in the mix in a proper ratio to the Calcium for their respective uptake by corals. However, something in my system is sucking up enough Magnesium to cause me to dose it additionally. Sure would like to know what is doing that!
