Hey Mike,

Nothing major. I have a lot of water volume (approx 320 gallons), so it takes me a lot of magnesium to raise my levels. I'm currently running it at about 1300 - 1350ppm. When I first started testing, my Mg was under 1200 so it took about 10 lbs of magnesium to raise it to my desired levels in the course of one week. I test every 2 weeks and if it's low I raise it. I only raise it max 100 ppm at a time. This means I put about 4 cups in one shot. My corals do grow fast but I keep it at acceptable ranges. It seems that my tank consumes a lot of Mg though. Since December I've put about 20 lbs of Mg in my tank (from Littlesilvermax).

Hope this helps.

Des
