Sorta.. realistically I'm happy with anything above 1400.

I use a mix. Anemones looks better with the Mg at those levels (don't ask me why they care, but they do - I can always tell when my Mg has gotten too low by looking at the anemones), plus, although it could be hearsay I keep hearing that higher Mg levels help keep hair algae and bryopsis at bay.

Ok, sorry
 I wouldn't worry about Magnesium too much if you're just starting up. Just have fun with the hobby in the meantime. Honestly I went maybe close to 5 or 6 years into the hobby without once caring about Magnesium.  Don't worry, in some ways, the confusion will go away, and in other ways, it never does! That's why we're all off our rockers.

water test
so I did another test today and you were probably right about 2400 being wrong read, today my reads are cal 460 alk 12/ mag 1150/ phos .11/ how do i bring my phos down? all else seems to be leveling out, I think with one more water change I should have it pretty much under control (I hope)
