Is there any downside to using epsom salts?

[BassetsForBrown]

Regardless of benefits epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) may or may not have in an aquarium, is anyone aware of any potential negatives in adding it? (obviously I'm talking about adding an appropriate dosage, not a cup of it into a 20 gallon tank)


Thanks

Also forgot to mention, I only talking about SA/CA's, and a Pleco. No plants or anything.

I always use it with my African cichlids and have for over 10 years now. WIth SA/CA I add a little but it will drive the hardness up quick, I do use it if there is something wrong with the fish as I think it helps with bloat and parasites (it helps them poop!!!)
