How do you figure that. Its easily raised with a magnesium additive from one of the name brands or like many of us, the magnesium that was mentioned here. Niloc, when I ran my co2 reactor, my magnesium always seemed to stay around 1350ppm when using Carib-sea media. I tried the Geo-Marine crushed coral, which is a lot cheaper but never measured or used it long enough to see how the magnesium was from it.

I also have bought Mg from littlesilvermax. It works well. What salt are you using, how often do you do water changes and what is the Mg in your salt mix? I was adding 80-125 ml Mg salt weekly because my salt was low in Mg. I have switched to Oceanpure salt which has 1500 ppm Mg. Since switching, I have not need to add any Mg and my levels are 1440. However, I am also doing 15% weekly water changes.

I would have went bankrupt trying to raise my Mg with the Seachem Reef Adv Mg. Hopefully I will see my order from littlesilvermax in the next couple of days so that I can get levels back to where they need to be
