1 1/4 cup of liquid. I mixed 8 cups of dry epson salt with 1 gallon of ro
water. I had added 1 gallon (1 drip per sec) of limewater. also 1 gallon
of buffer(baking soda). The web site I got this mix from said you should
add 1 1/4 cup mg after adding the limewater and buffer water. All my fish
were alive until I added the 1 1/4 cup mg.
I have a 125 gallon tank with a seaclone 150(modified for better skimming)
a wet to dry filter, and 3 200gph power heads in the tank fo circulation.
I have emptied 75 gallons from the tank is this enough to fix the water
issue?

Looks like it did.

Milligrams- cups?
Pounds?

Are you testing for Mg?
Never ever add anything you have not tested for.
