magnesium

In the past month I beat a severe dinoflagellate problem and moved forward to testing calcium, magnesium and alkalinity. when I tested calcium it read 400, and alkalinity read 9. but when I tested magnesium with the Salifert magnesium test kit, I was only seeing pink and no blue. I tested the...

Happy soon to be Thanksgivng everyone! I'm looking to take advantage of BRS's black friday sale and I'm wondering what magnesium I should buy. BRS offers the following. - 2-Part Maintenance Mg mix - General adjustment Mg mix - Mg Sulfate - Mg Chloride My Alk is 8.7, Ca is 440 and Mg is 1200...

Hello fellow reefers, I’m reaching out for help dialing in the chemistry and filtration balance on my 65-gallon Waterbox AIO mixed reef tank. I’ve been working hard to stabilize parameters, reduce algae, maintain water clarity, and support healthy coral growth but I’m hitting some roadblocks...

I have a mixed reef tank lots of lps 2 small sps and a lot of soft coral( 3 toad stools and a bunch of zoas) my tank is fairly new 3months, and everything looks great blooming really wide but my magnesium was at 1170 as of last week, I started dosing Brightwell aquatics magnesium every other day...

Hi reefers, I'm a fairly new reefer. Been in the hobby for almost a year. A couple of weeks ago I did a 10 gallon water change in my 69 gallon AIO tank and it went all downhill from there. 1 chalice coral and 3 torch coral have died and I'm trying to prevent anymore from following. I did a...

Hello all, I have a 120 gallon mixed reef tank. Salinity is 1.026. Calcium is 420 alkalinity is 8.9. Magnesium is 1170. I dose 35 mg of All for Reef which keeps my calcium and alkalinity stable. my magnesium however drops to under 1100 if I don’t dose extra magnesium. Problem is I am dosing...

Hey everyone this is my first post. I started my 50 gallon IM lagoon at the end of November. I started testing my alk, calcium, and magnesium on December 23. My alk started about 11.9dkh, my calcium started at around 290ppm, and my magnesium was at 1100ppm. I figured I’d do water changes and see...

Hi all and thanks for reading! I've been having some issues with dropping Calcium and Magnesium and rising Alk despite dosing All for reef (A4R) and doing water changes as well. My system is a 40 gallon cube with a 10 gallon (running volume) sump. In total after equipment, sand, and live rock...

Hi all. So started my new RSR 350 a few weeks ago. I started with two bags of live sand, new dry rocks(Link here) , Fritz-Zyme Turbo Start, and iQuatics pro salt (Link here) I have two clowns and a tang in there and a mixture of LPS and SPS frags. Current levels are Salinity: 1.027 (higher...

I'm selling two Neptune Systems DŌS Dosing and Fluid Metering Systems. Each unit has been used for approximately one year for general dosing and is in excellent working condition. Included with each DŌS are the necessary cables and a small amount of drip tubing. Price: $200 per unit, including...

My tanks Magnesium has been pretty stable before. I’m using Kalk+2 from brightwell that’s supposed to contain mag. My Magnesium has dropped 100pts in a matter of weeks. I’m surprised of such a heavy drop. I used both salifert and Hanna magnesium test. Hanna showed 50 points higher at 1250 vs...

**SOLD** Full set of Hanna Electronic Test Kits. Set of 8. Used for roughly 6 months. Work and look perfectly. All reagents are current with at least a year before expiration besides the Calcium Checker which includes 0 reagents. They expired last month. This entire kit would retail for over...

Hey everyone so I’ve been fighting to get my parameters stable since the tank is relatively new. I tested my parameters 3 weeks ago for the first time after losing 2 torches and saw I had extremely high phosphorus 3.9 ppm trying to feed all my tangs so they’re happy and stop fighting. Since then...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a balling method to improve the stability of my aquarium's parameters, but the recommendations suggest balancing the parameters before starting with balling through water changes or other products. I'd like to know what products or methods I could use to...

Hello all! Noob here. First of all, some backgound. I was a very stupid noob and bought a very large bag of AquaForest Reef Mineral Salt. Problem is: I made my initial water with it not realizing it was actually something supposed to be a part of your balling, from what I can understand. This...

Question is in bold and underlined, the rest is explanation. I just put in a 2 400gpd RO membrane system in my basement mainly to use for my tank top off and water changes but I also piped in three refrigerators and a few drink fillers throughout my house all ran off of a 30 gallon RO pressure...

Hannah nitrate HR, phosphorus LR , copper HR with validate reagent, 110 for all 3 shipped. I will give 2 extra tube and extra reagent for phosphorus

I have 3 test kits available for sale (calc, mag, alk). I bought them hoping I could use them, but can't since I'm colorblind and can't see the transitions well. They have either never been used or used once or twice. I live in the Woodinville area and would either prefer pick up or Woodinville...

Hey, I was looking into a cheap alternative to the more common test kits for calcium and magnesium, and I stumbled across this test kit from Amazon. (The link I posted seems to be missing, apologies) 10/11 reviews are positive, the test kit is a titration that's supposedly accurate to...

Hi reefers, I have a preowned REEFER XL425, I started it from very beginning 2 months ago. A week ago it got through cycling so I bought a pair of Nemos, 5 mixed frags, 3 shrimps a 4 snails. Everyone look great. Except the fact, that the chemistry is weird and now the massive green outbreak...

I need help mixing this brightwell magnesium P powder solution. How many grams do I need to make a litter solution? Sorry I’m terrible with math and I’ll appreciate the help! Side note : no matter how many solutions I add my magnesium still stays around 1300? Instructions and...

Has anyone used these reagents from www.abcreagents.com for their trident? Supposedly they work just like the Neptune reagents but obviously they are much cheaper. If people have any experience with these, please comment. If they work well, this will definitely be a game changer!

Hello, I purchased Maxima Clam about 3 weeks ago, and noticed that it's mantle has become flaky and cracked, like asphalt that was heavily salted in the winter (It's more clear when you zoom in on the picture). It's receiving about 150 PAR and has low to moderate flow. Alkalinity is at 8.2...

Hey all, it's been a few years since I kept a saltwater tank - my expertise is definitely in freshwater and turtles. In the past I had 2 thriving reef tanks with fish & LPS but once my ex and I broke up I kept the freshwater and he took the salt tanks (he was definitely the salt expert!) So...
