Default Thanks Leah.....

I will stick with Instant Ocean going forward (really no choice as I bought 3 pails of the stuff....lol)

Anyway, so should I just keep dosing Mag and Calcium as I have been, or is something more radical in order?

If you suddenly changed salts that could be the problem......I always recommend to customers that you start mixing the different salts together when there is roughly half a bucket of the original salt left, if you can.....this will lesson the potential for a shock to the system......

IO is low in all of the big three (Ca Mg and DKH).....a better choice would have been "reef crystals" by IO.....it has elevated levels of the "big three"....like Christy said, your levels arent that bad, so a minor adjustment in how much you dose should help bump those levels up......

Default Thanks for that great info...

Based on the results I was getting (versus the applicable safe ranges) I was thinking there could something really wrong. Will monitor going forward.
