Mg question

[rs1831]

My magnesium in my 2 tanks are only 1050 and 1080. What should I do to bring that up.

 

[drew2005]

I have had success bringing my Mg level up with Kent Tech M. Works great IMO.

what salt are you using?

 

[rs1831]

reef crystals

try oceanic

 

[rs1831]

I just purchased a 200 gallon tub of reef crystals. After that I'm going to try something else.

what is yoru stocking list? do you have a lot of fast growing Ca-dependant corals?

 

[rs1831]

I have a torch, frogspawn and an open brain in one tank and 2 closed brains and another hard coral in the other.

sorry/.. one more question. haha
to my knowledge, reef cyrstals is pretty good about Mg. so my question now is, do you do weekly water changes?
if so then i would suggest following the advice above and adding some

is your Ca and Alk in check also?

 

[rs1831]

I've been doing weekly water changes. I just started testing for Ca, Alk and Mg and Ca was kind of low so I've been working on that. I'm making a batch of saltwater right now and I'm going to test it to see what the starting parameters are. At this point I've only been testing my actual tank water.
