Oh I totally forgot that the other reason was I wanted to devote my CO2 resources towards my planted FW tank. Although I kind of haven't refilled the tank yet from when it last went empty about 12 months ago.

If your Alk is fine and you're not finding it difficult then I personally would not worry about mag. I use Alk as my indicator for potential mag issues. My mag as been as low as 1100 and the only thing I noticed when I had it that low as that it was more challenging for me to maintain my Alk higher. It certainly wasn't the end of the world. I have never dosed mag and have only tested for it once in the past 3 years.

I have the same thoughts. Does'nt the growth of coralline algae some how have something to do with Mg?

Something I've noticed recently is that I have very little coralline in the DT. However, my frag tank is covered. Same water, so I've been attributing it to light.

The reading of this thread is more time spent than on my reef haha. I vote just do nothing and nap all day. Mg levels? I think mine were at about 1200 three years ago, but I have no idea now. In terms of Ca and Alk? I have no clue what my levels are at. The only parameter I know/check is my salinity once every three weeks when I do my water change. Just kick back and enjoy your tank (as long as it looks good).

I vote for doing something nice for the mrs!

screw the tank today, do house cleaning!:mrgreen: then start something yum for dinner.

I like your idea best.

I do not like your idea at all. I do that stuff everyday, today is my day off!! :)

if you picked carbon then you'd be thinking how often to change, how much flow, do the kick back thing

So how was your nap?
