Magnesium Question

[jostafew]

I've got the Seachem Reef Status Magnesium test kit, bought from J&L Aquatics in BC (have an online store). I'm not real impressed with the kit, it was somewhat spendy, is a PITA to do a test, and not particularly accurate. Repeatable, but not accurate. Either that or the referance solution they included was way off. Either way I had to create a factor of about 15% to add to my measured reanding in order to get the actual reading. BUT, it is working despite the drawbacks... I know you mentioned Edmonton area, but J&L ships pretty quick.

MA will have them.

I use Red Sea. And while its a good test it's a little complicating at first

Can I ask what corals are not growing to liking as some are just slow

I found monti and blue acros were largely unsucessful, my Birdsnest is doing great and my bonsai is so-so,

I had to move my Forest fire digi, and my monti to my 5G and they're doing awesome in there...but they suffered in my 12G...so strange.
