well on way to do it to make a drip comtainer and let the Alk drip in slowly to the sump, this way you can test and control the amount going in.
the Mag. usally comes as a Liq. already and can be added right to the sump according to manuf. directions, but unless you have a test kit for it i do not recommed adding anything extra.
