Going way back in my notes for my 37g, I had 1185 ppm of Mg when I began testing. The calculator sugggested I add 321 ml of Kent's Tech-M Mg.

Don't know what you mean by "346 Ml of Kents". If it is some kind of buffer, remember when using the calculator, the calculator measures alk in meq/l, dKH and ppm. You have to select the right measurement from the three choices. Many times I have forgotten to select dKH instead of the default meq/l and ended up with a horrendous amount of buffer I had to add. Luckily I remembered to double check.
