Help dosing Brightwell Magnesion-p

[GoFish]

Thanks for the replies!
Where do you live Titus? I'll take a jar out in my boat tomorrow and bring some home to test for levels (that's if you're talking natural sea water?) I wonder what the salinity is locally with the number of rivers in the Vancouver area and with the extra volume coming out of the Fraser river due to Freshet...

I just made a jar with 62.4g of magnesion and added 18oz of RO water from superstore (it got pretty warm) also created a cake on the bottom which I had to break up.

Greg, when you say over time, is 2 days ok @ 3 doses of 3oz of solution per day? I would add it to the return pump section of the sump
That would be 25ppm per dose totalling 75ppm per day. I could test with a kit between.

Cheers

I live in Alberta.

Nsw I should have wrote it out

New salt water as in water changes. But that's my opinion. You can dose to bring up levels. I just like to do water changed

The water in van is completely different from water in the reefs. Won't do you much good

Sorry for the late reply ... been busy
And sorry for my messy post, I should have cleaned it up before posting it

I hope you're doing well with your dosing

Ya, 75ppm/day is awesome
Up to 100 is acceptable ( as I mentioned more than once and wish I'd made it more easy to read )

So, how are things doing with the dosing now ?

Things went well thanks! After 2 days of dosing 31 grams/day which should have raised it to 1350, it ended up at 1320 which is just fine with me.
I'm only dosing because I slacked on changes (new LED lighting caused an encrusting sps to grow like a weed) my Mag was low as well as Cal at 360 hence the need to dose.

Next step Is calcium, shooting for around 420

10% water change earlier today and again by next weekend

And Greg, lol, I thought that sounded weird... Thanks to google it told me NSW was the real deal

Actually that was Nick talking about nsw

He was referring to 'new salt water' (water change), not 'natural sea water'
