Epsom Salts

[flukes]

Was a the hardware store in the plant section and found epsom salts. Aparently they are used for plants to correct magnesium deficiency. Any way i am just wondering if this type is ok too use with discus?
All it has on the box is -

Guaranteed Analysis -
Magnesium (Mg) as Magnesium Sulphate - 9.0%
Sulphur (S) as Magnesium Sulphate - 13.0%

Does this sound like the same as people use with their discus? I have never used epsoms salts so iam unsure what too look for.

Thanks

Hi scott,
The epsom salt you want is pure magnesium sulphate... Its best obtained at a pharmacy and is used as a laxative or as a soak.
