why so much mag

[reefwars]

call me reckless but i raise my mg way more than that at one time lol

if you cant get in range youll have a hard time raising it slowly ive found

im in the same boat mg around 900 and been raising it , i find when it gets so low its hard to raise it up , once it gets to the green zone i find it easier to keep stable and only does once in a while.

I had a similar issue where my mag was dropping insanely fast. I was dumping in 20 mls into a 40 gallon system daily. I later found out that the salt batch I was using only had a mag level of 1200ppm and leading to the drop in mag every time I changed water. My bottom floor is covered in coraline after correcting the new salt water, I use around 8mls a day, cal and alk consumption is roughly around 40-50ml a day once I have factored in kalk as well.

Also double check your tests. Don't risk hundreds/thousands of dollars of coral to a $40 test. Been there, nuked my tank based on bad test kit. But yes, like most have said, some slat is pretty low, and you need to add. Make sure you roll salt buckets, they can separate after time and shifting.

Thanks guys.

The test kit isn't old but ill buy a new one Any way.
I am.confident that the test kit is accurate

My salt comes in a box so.hard to.roll but I do.transfer it into a pail. I've used Reefers best for a couple years now and it's constantly low in mg

The only reason I was trying to raise it slow was to avoid the backlash of peeps saying told you so if I raised to fast but I think I'll get it set asap and keep it there

[reefwars]

I know people bringing up there magnesium to astronomical levels instantly just to battle bryopsis without ill effects and they keep it there for a lengthy period of time so I think you would be ok

[reefwars]

By astronomical I mean like 1800 parts per million
