My biggest concern is that there is some other ingredient in there that could have adverse effect on the tank. I know Dow Flake and Mag Flakes have been used by others with success but getting my hands on it is frustrating - even now with the onset of winter and the freezing temperatures. |
I might be overly cautious, but I would not put anything in my tank that could have dangerous levels of
trace elements. I would stick with the products that Dr Randy Holmes-Farley has listed ingredients. It just doesn't seem worth saving a few dollars to possibly nuke my tank or even lose a few fish or corals.
