problem maintaining proper parameters

[mrcopitr]

[quote="Beverly"]From all the reading I have done recently about chemistry in a reef, I just want to point out how important it is to maintain magnesium levels along with Ca and alk. If there is depressed Mg in a system, Ca will not be utilized for coralline or stony coral growth, no matter how balanced alk and Ca are. Always figure Mg into your equation. I guess that is why the Reef Chemistry Calculator includes Mg along with Ca and alk:

Hi Beverly,

My mg is at 1200 to 1250 ppm....so i figure within proper range....
I have used the reef calculator, but my parameters still dont remain stable with this....may be because Im also dozing kalk plus the ESV bionic 2 part solution...the calculator doesnt take into account if you dose in conjonction with kalk...

Tks Marco
