[00:00:00]Today on SR Labs, we put cal-mag to the test. I got five different things that I'm going to challenge, uh some of which I thought to be true for the last 20 years and just turned out to actually be false, maybe even grossly false. Uh the first thing we're going to look at is whether or not the two teaspoons per gallon of water really gets you to the max saturation uh that we're looking for with our solutions. And is grams maybe a better way to do it? Again, maybe grossly so. Uh we're going to look at how much mixing you need to do. So, do I need like a contraption like this, magnetic stirrer, just really whisking it together, or will a spoon do the trick? Uh we're going to look at the tools we use to measure max saturation.

[00:00:34]Specifically, is there one at home you can use? This is a fairly affordable one from I got on Amazon. And we're going to look at whether or not this is good enough as compared to something that is much more expensive that most people wouldn't buy for their home use. Uh I think the answer is yes, by the way, so you'll be the judge later on. Uh we also looked at two different forms of cal-mag. So, uh one of which is like really fluffy and the other one's really dense. They perform really differently, so we'll look at uh how that behaves in all
