I know so, do some searching on Mg and my name, there were lots of references I posted when I was trying to figure out what was going on with my tank. I could go from 1420 to 1000 in a week with 125 gal of water. at that time (don't know about a year after the board started I think) we never heard much up here about mg crashes and such, so you had to go looking for what was happening, so everything was like a big discovery.
also I found the speed of your stony coral growth has a effect also, so if your corals are nice but grow slow you will depleate slow. I have to go coach hockey right now but I'll dig up some more when I get home.
