Magnesium and PE

[Skimmerking]

Hey Bev (AKA MOM number 2 ) lol its Michael with a A

PE I can't believe that you dont know what it stand for with all these short Abbrev's for words . Polyop Extension!!!!!!! Ya Since I have been in Reefing I have never tested for Magnesium.....

Last night on RC i was reading about it in SPS forum that this guys PE went crazy from upping his Magnesium...

The Italians using the Blue Coral method are keeping Mg at 1500 ppm I find Mg like Ca and KH gets depleted, and needs to be tested and dosed.

Sorry, Michael I type too fast sometimes and have always had a problem spelling Michael. Michael! Sheesh, you'd think I'd reread what I wrote

Anyway, just tested my tank. Ca and Mg are a bit low, Alk is about right, but I've still got to do something about the high pH.

Thanks for telling me what PE is. Doh!

Well Bev I took your advice and bought a Magnesium test kit from J&L.

My luck it wont be the magnesium and it will have prefect levels .

That's another huge thread and I never did find the actual recipe for the food. Did anyone see the actual recipe?
