What's your Mg at?

I gust use the standard recipe:

I do feel I use alot as well, but I dont know, it is what it is I think, thats why it is interesting to se what others use.

I think I'm about 2x as much as others,

and I even find that I defenatly dont have a over crouded SPS tank

i do have everything covered in nice purple coral. algea

I do a 40 gal water change each 2 weeks now, and when mixing new salt I bring the Cal up to 450 and the mag to 1400 by adding some calcium chloride and 5 to 3 magnesium mix
