Importance of Mg in reefs

[kris walker]

Hi all,
Someone pointed this link out to me, and I thought it might interest all you too. It explains another possible reason why Ca levels can get really high.

Excellent, btw, I'm new here. I've been keeping fish tho fo 25 years, and salts for 10+. I've had a pond for around 11 years with koi and ornamental goldfish.
I hope to stick around some her, it's a nice site.

Welcome to the board Lee!
Thanks Surfin Sam for the article. Not sure I understood all of it though...... <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

Me too. But there were some parts about it that stuck with me--basically the part about how too much Mg can detrimentally effect CaCO3 precipitation (and presumably corraline growth).
Cheers,
