Therefore keeping it stable is something to strive for. Adding a dose of Magnesium once a week does not do this. Adding the Magnesium in with the two part solutions does not allow individual control of the Magnesium levels. There are times when the coral growth rates slow down or speed up. This can lead to Magnesium being too high or too low as the additions of Calcium and Carbonates increase or decrease.

I agree about mag, if you are saying small doses daily instead of once per week?
