I agree with Tony. I'd rather my Mg was on the high side rather than low. My tank likes to be kept at about 1350.

Thanks guys yeah I would def prefer high mg vs low. My kit is likely wonky or something. I adjusted my doser and I'm firing 400ml into the tank every night to raise it 10ppm per day. Child's play... I just got lazy with my testing.

No zeo Doug. Gfo and carbon. I did try a few doses of pohls xtra a while ago but it lightened some of my corals way too much and I barely added any.
