magnesium

Hi guys! I've struggling with high levels of magnesium in my tank, I check parameters every week, and for the past 3 weeks, magnesium has been going up. Also my nitrates are kind of high, but those are going gradually down, so I'm not too worried about it. So I would really really appreciate...

I have a bundle of Hanna Checkers for sale. It includes the Alkalinity (DkH version), Phosphate ULR, Nitrate High Range, Salinity/Temp Pen Tester, Magnesium (new version), and an Auto Aqua Spin Stir. This would all cost $350+ retail. I am asking $200 SHIPPED. There is a brand new box of...

Hi! All of my Banded Trochus Snail seem to be suffering from paralysis. They have all fallen off the glass to the floor. Their foot shows that they are alive, but they seem to lack the enegy to attach back to glass and just lie there slowly diying/starving. I have pulled them all out of the...

Hey everyone, I’m trying to wrap my head around why has my Alk risen and whats depleting calcium and magnesium. And what’s the solution. I recently added a hammer garden (9 heads) and a yumma mushroom and soon after I noticed my Alk jumped to 10 and resulting in depletion of my calcium and...

Hello All, I have a brand new unopened Hanna Magnesium Test Kit. I ordered about a week ago from BRS. I accidentally ordered two of the same kit. BRS has them listed for $64. I'll ship to your door for $50 or possible trade for other reef related items. Thanks!

Hello Reefers, I have a 20g long tank and I'm loving it, my tank has been up and running since February of 2021. I've lost about three corals, a sand sifting star, three fish, and two emerald crabs since the start of my tank. I'm afraid I'm going to lose more of my corals, because of gha and...

What do you guys use for a magnesium powder solution? ive tried Redsea magnesium powder solution but it leaves a residue. what else is out there’s that’s good on the wallet also?

I am new to Saltwater. I do not have any corals. I have 2 clownfish. Redsea reefer 425. I keep putting in Alkalinity, Cal, and MG thru apex DOS. The levels keep dropping. I do an automatic water change of 1.5 gals every day. I use Classic Sea Salt Mix. Alkalinity - 9-10 dKH (approx) Calcium...

System Volume: 20 Gallons Alk: 8.8 Calc: 400 Mg: 1080-980 PH: 8.2 -Mg consumption of ~50ppm a day -Daily dosing 80ml of 460g/L solution -All other parameters stable. -Upping to 100mL/day Help!

I bought all of my test kits new in November and my Salifert test kit for Magnesium has consistently tested low from the first day I started using it (~1,020-1,160). At first, I thought the issue might be that I hadn't shaken up the bag of salt (Reef Crystals) and the minerals were unevenly...

Does anyone have any knowledge as to whether or not Red Sea Trace Colors A/B/C/D affect magnesium? I don't see it listed on the insert that comes with any of them, but since stopping water changes and dosing these trace elements, BRS calcium chloride, and BRS Soda Ash over the last 4 months my...

Hello, I would like to keep my macros on levels similar to Red Sea Coral Pro Salt (Ca 465, Mg 1390, kH 12) + raising pH to levels between 8.2-8.5 depending on the timeframe. Of course such levels significantly increase precipitation of minerals such as calcium. What can be done to prevent it...

Hello, First of all - thanks Randy for your contribution to spreading knowledge on this forum. Without you I wouldn't learn many things I have never heard about it, despite the fact I do not like going with the easiest and most common solution and thus I like to explore and experiment. I...

I am dosing iquatics kh buffer daily (0.3g) to maintain kh 8.4 Whilst calcium stays steady at 420-400, magnesium is dropping. I am dosing magnesium salt every day to maintain at 1360. Without this it falls to around 1200. Even a water change will lower it to 1290. salt params are way higher...

I've heard about the problem of Hanna's Magnesium colorimeter reading high and recently learned that you can fill out a form on the Hanna website to get them to send out a new Reagent to correct the issue. But has anyone not had to do this and is getting similar results to other tests they do? I...

I have a 6 month old 65 gal mixed reef that I’ve been dosing with all for reef. I use the powdered form and mix it myself. Currently have mostly small lps frags but a handful of sps and softies as well. I’m waiting for my parameters to get more in line before adding in any more acros. Most of...

So this is my first time posting as I can usually find all of the answers i’m looking for in threads but i have something very puzzling going on. My Mag levels are rapidly depleting without any major changes in other perameters. I waited until i had 5 tests one week apart each with a 10% water...

I picked up one of the new Hanna HI783 Magnesium checkers when they dropped last week, and after one or two mulligans I got it working pretty well. A little more complex than the basic hanna tests (requires 2 reagents) but nothing too bad, especially vs the other titration mag methods. The...

Hi, Today did some testing and I found that my alkalinity is pretty low. dKH: ~6 Ca: 470 Mg: 1440 Salinity: 1.025 pH: ~8 Nitrate: ~6 Ammonia and nitrite: 0 These testing results are 1 week after a water change. I use Tropic Marin Pro salt and a new batch of water has around 7,2 dKH. Should I...

So I have not dosed any Mg in the last month and a half, all the products I use to maintain the tank does not contain Mg. Anyone experience something similar before? Kh is being consumed at around 0.5 every 4-5 days. Corals are medium load 95% softies 38 gallon. APR Mg 2 3 1350ppm 5...

Hi Guys, I've been testing my tank water for about a week and have recently introduced my first batch of coral - 4 small LPS frags along with a small Zoa frag into my tank this weekend. In the week leading up, I was told my Calcium was low by my LFS after I took my water in double check my...
