IO works very good for fish only. I use it for my reef, and so do many others. For myself I found it very hard to keep my alk and calcium in-line, untill I started adding magnesium to the mix. FWIW it takes a lot of magnesium to get it to where you want it. Many people follow my home made recipe: Just do the math to get it to follow your water change shed: -45 gallon of new water (RO, or DI or RO/DI) -add 1.5 cups of magnesium -add 6 teaspoons of calcium -after the cal and mag are mixxed add the salt. This will yield app 1380 mag, 420 cal, and 10 dkh alk I always recommend testing, but FWIW I have not tested magnesium for over 3 years, and things are still going great for my tank, no precip on my pumps, or anywhere else!
