Default Mg for PPS-Pro
I don't have Mg Sulfate but I have epsom salts. Can I substitute the latter for the mgso4? If so what would be the dosing for PPS pro stock solution?
Thanks

AFAIK, they're the same thing. MgSO4-7H2O

I'm pretty sure that it is based on using Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate or Epsom Salt and not Magnesium sulfate (anhydrous). Anyway, I'm using 41g of Epsom Salt in my mix.

sweet, thanks for the info guys - I'm used to seeing it written/typed as the heptahydrate, and didn't know if that would affect the weight you would use....
