I can't remember the exact number but there is data on reef central saying its something like 1ppm for every 20ppm of calcium. I am guessing but it is close to that. Let me know if you find it again i'm also curious.

I use the same media and every month or so I have to add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Epsom salts to keep my Mg level up.

mag
IME, once your tank is stable and assuming all 3 levels are near NSW, magnesium will deplete at a rate of 1:2 in reference to CA and ALK. In my tank, the magnesium is the most stable element of the three, it's solid. As for the Zeo Mag, I think this product is junk unless you have a CA reactor and willing to measure it constantly. Better off using mag in bulk chem for accuracy and economically.

ARM's new mix is "high magnesium" but still not perfect. I dose extra on water changes with Randy's DIY recipie. Apperently Dolomite(Dolcimite?) in the calc reactor works, people have been using that for a long time.
Check salt mixes too, i use IO and it's low. Just bringing it up to 1300 at water changes keeps my tank balanced at about 1200-1250.
