Magnesium Question?

[k9_wolf]

Is it common for magnesium to drop to 1110-PPM Or is that drastic? 75/w 30 sump about 95G total. I don't have much livestock in this tank yet 4 clowns and some small corals. Its not like I have It heavily Stocked or anything!
Should i raise it slowly?

carbonate is 161.1 PPM
Calcium is 400 PPM
I use salifert tests
Thanks for your help

No its not uncommon for mag to drop and you can bring it back up all at once if you like.

Not common at all. its utilized 20x slower than calcium. you virtually have to have a low mg salt for it to drop without a huge hard coral population
