I agree with Tony. I'd rather my Mg was on the high side rather than low. My tank likes to be kept at about 1350.

Thanks guys yeah I would def prefer high mg vs low. My kit is likely wonky or something. I adjusted my doser and I'm firing 400ml into the tank every night to raise it 10ppm per day. Child's play... I just got lazy with my testing.

No zeo Doug. Gfo and carbon. I did try a few doses of pohls xtra a while ago but it lightened some of my corals way too much and I barely added any.

The tank is looking killer Brett! Love how fast your little sticks are taking off (even if you think it's slow) just take another look at your original frag picture.
