What I've found is that my Mg never depleted very fast at all and always hovered around 1300 to 1400 with regular water changes. I tested often at first because I bought myself a fancy schmancy 4 head doser to take care of dosing Alk, Calc and Mag but the doser never got set up to dose Mg since my mag never depleted enough to warrant dosing. I do weekly water changes of 10% with the occasional missed week here and there. Or the occassional missed month like in December
