About two weeks ago I tested my mag and it was extremely low. As in 1290 compared to 1500 which is where I have maintained it for months. I ran out of magnesion and decided to dose Seachem ions to bring it back up which also supplements Strontium and Boron.
I have been dosing the maximum daily dose 25ml/25g as instructed on the bottle to try and raise it yet I’m somewhat concerned about the amount of Strontium and Boron I’ve added.
The concentrations are as followed
(amounts per 1 g)
Magnesium - 90mg
Strontium - 0.5mg
Boron - 0.3 mg
So with dosing 75ml per day for the past several days, are my Strontium and Boron levels going to be absurdly high?
Also another thing which I’m confused about are my test results. I’ll post them below. Throughout this time I’ve dosed Magnesion until I ran out then ions following that.
1/19
Mg - 1290
1/25
Mg - 1350
2/1
Mg -1320
The tests were all performed on a Salifert test kit which expires in 2025.
With that being said should I discontinue ions or are the added elements safe at such a low level? Additionally, I’m extremely confused about how my Mg went up and somehow depleted by 30PPM
I’m lost. One wc was performed since the initial test with RC salt
With the concerns above what adverse effects would elevated levels of Strontium/Boron result in?
