What are your recommenadtions, how fast should I raise the value...90 tea spoon sounds alot...and the label on the seachem mg container says it can impact on the Ph (lower it)..

Marco,
I don't think they mean "teaspoons". I've used the calculator for Mg and they recommended millilitres (ml), not teaspoons. Indeed, using teaspoons would be waaaaay too much, imo. Check the calculator again to make sure Mg recommends adding it in ml.
Also, which specific Seachem Mg additive do you have? |
Hi Bev,
I just went on the reef calculator (
http://home.comcast.net/~jdieck1/chem_calc3.html) and entered tank size (95 gal), current mg 1200 ppm,desired mg 1300..product seachem....product required: 90.2 tsps; 451 grms.
and if I read the instruction on the bottle (Seachem reef advantage magnesium) this is the crystal form, thats pretty much what it comes too also....
I really dont know how fast I should add this quantity???
Thanks for all your input Beverly..it is very appreciated....
