Danny, the link doesn't work, and I really do want to read it

So from what you said, I understand that if I have enough Magnesium in my system (elevated levels in this case of all ca/alk/mg), then I don't need to worry about the sand calcifying! Is that true?

thanks

That is correct, Mg is what makes Ca bio available and in the correct balance it is actually possible to superload your tank with all levels without experiencing precipitation. NOT recommended though, trust me. Even if you do get precipitate it shouldn't completely solidify your entire sandbed, only patches here and there.

You'll have to access that link through Bev's link.
