I added the new water to the tank and tested about an hour after and the Mg read 1470. I tested agian tonight and here's what I got:

Mg 1425
Alk 11.5
Ca 420
NO3 0.5
PO4 0

Do you think I still need to do a water change or should I be ok?

What salt are you using? IO naturally (at least the 10 or so that I have tested) runs about 1200 so I bump it up to 1380.

Are your corals doing OK now?
