    When I flush, I use distilled H2O, and I add :


    - 2-3mL/gal H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)


    - pH up or down


    for the mag defficiency I add 1/4 - 1 tsp/gal epsom salt

    hi, you should flush your stystems resivoir once a week for at least a 24 hour elapsed time period. doing a complete water change. when doing final flush i would recomend no less than one week, changing entire ressy everyday. i would say if you think you have burned them from not flushing, do a flush then give them like a 50-75% feeding folowing the flush.
