  2. Brightwell Aquatics Magnesion-P Magnesium Supplement.

    I have been testing my Calcium and Alkalinity levels recently and the numbers just did not sit right with me. So I purchased an Elos Magnesium test kit so I could check my Magnesium level as that is where I believe the culprit lies. Sure enough my Magnesium level was 1200ppm which is about 150ppm below where I would like it to be.

    Just a quick little update. Tibet passed her water with no issues.

    We've been battling with the city about our electrical and water meters for almost 7 months now. They are trying to force meter moves to locations that are convient for them in our house, but not logical for living, or re-sale in the future. Its been annoying, tedious, and easily equatable to teeth pulling. Pretty much we've been waiting for someone at the city to realize that there is no logic in moving meters into ...
