Any suggestions on what to use to increase the MG. I know Tailor Aquatics has a liquid form of MG that you can dose. Anybody have experience with that?

Default Mg

Sean I use Zeo Mag in my calcium reactor aprox 10% of my reactor medium volume. It seems to work for me.
It was a tip I got from Superfudge when I first started keeping SPS.

There are many ways of doing this including the Zeomag, I used to run Zeo mag in the reactor but now I just pour in Kent Tech-M into my auto top off resevoir. I go through about a 64oz bottle in about 6-8 weeks. I keep my magnesium very high; infact, I used to run the magnesium at or around 2100 ppm in order to battle a some bryopsis on some new rock (only use Tech-M for this) worked like a charm! I have seen no ill effects of running high Magnesium and I actully believe it promotes faster Coral growth and quicker healing of frags etc.

Tech-M love this stuff
Epson Salts (walmart) Cheap but Sulfate may get to high ??
Bulk reef supply Great if you go through lots.
