Dosing - Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride?

I wanted to know anyone out there with information/links about benefits & effects of a dosing regiement of Calcium Chloride and Magnesium Chloride. Detailed information of the chemical breakdown of these compounds in a reef tank, byproducts, etc... I curious because I know the need for mag and calc levels in the tank, and I happened to come across a rock salt mixture that is sodium cloride/calcium cloride/magnesium cloride. Ive read people dosing dow flakes(calc cloride), but I've never read the addition of Magnesium cloride.
 
yea in that article they issued a warning about the safety of using mag flakes. and also suggested using nigari which is Japanese used for production of tofu? does anyone use this and know where to purchase it?

True, but any manufacturer would give a warning not to use their product for its intended use. The do not want any legal action if their pruduct caused harm. I wasn't looking for any particular brand but the use of Magnesium Chloride as a compound. Which the article explained.
