Randy, is your inbox full or do you not receive pm's?

Too many private messages. I want to keep most discussions public so others can benefit by reading them,

My mistake. 1500+ magnesium.

Same comment on magnesium and a second syringe to get an actual value.

 

[Robink]

Of course. Didn't think of that. Will test again tomorrow. Thank you.

+1 Kudo to Randy. I want to learn from failure too. That is why I am interested in this thread.

Ok. Magnesium at 1500 this morning. I'm going to leave it alone and let it drop back to 1300 range. Could this be why my acans have receded into their skeletons?? Everything else looks normal.

That's an after and a before shot of same coral.
Or could it be new sump. Has socks. Never had them before.

I agree also. Have learned more on this site than 14 years in hobby. Don't know why LFS likes to keep you in the dark. That's just my opinion.

I don't know for sure, but magnesium at 1500 ppm isn't usually a problem that I am aware of.

I'm glad you find it useful.

Happy Reefing!
