Dosing Mg

[Aquattro]

Ok, I was inspired. Mg is ~1170pm. lol Almost perfect!!

I'm amazed you can balance the other two with mg so low. Maybe your kit sucks or it's diff for reactor folks?

I don't have to dose mg so long as I adjust my water changes to 1400. H2ocean is low. I add 160mL to 10g of new water.

Instead of dosing you could prob raise your water changes up some. What does your mix measure in at?

Ok so the rest of us following normal reefing parameters, like measuring ph, keeping magnesium at suggested proper level of 1350ppm, using something other than crappy old crushed coral in a reactor and our tanks are not half as nice as yours.......LOL....

Oh ya and chucking led,s.


Do you add a magnesium additive to the crushed coral or that level is what it maintains.

Ya, it's a low maintenance tank Nope, no additives, that's just where it sits. That's about where it was last year when I measured it.
To be honest, pre 2008, nobody even cared about Mg. Never saw it for sale or saw test kits. It's a recent requirement for tanks. I guess I have older corals, they don't care either -lol
