00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Calmwaters]

Here's a full tank shot since I glued the corals down today. I also did a little bit of rearranging of the rocks on the sand and added a piece going from the left section to the piece in the middle at the back since I put one of the rocks with zoas from my pico there.

What do you keep your salinity at Reef crystals should bring you out to 1350 or 1400 Mag at 1.026 or 1.025. Soft corals also do not consume mag (or at least not much if any)

Unfortunately Instant Ocean sometimes has off batches so maybe do a water test on a freshly mixed batch. I found this post with someone saying their Mag was low on their bucket as well. https://www.bareefers.org/forum/thr...reef-crystals-bucket-has-low-magnesium.32856/

1.025

I use RPM, works great.

RPM?

1.025

Yeah it may be your mix is bad or off. Also do you always run a very high white spectrum? What type of lights do you use?

I will go by the LFS tomorrow to see what if anything they have to increase magnesium. Is there a preferred product or any that are awful that I should avoid?

@Randy Holmes-Farley told me about a magnesium supplement at the drug store one time, maybe he would chime in

They are red reef led 90s I have two of them.

Epsom salt is magnesium.

Thank you!

Maybe Epsom salt, PaulB uses it for Magnesium.

I have had wild swings when it comes to that

I recall seeing Paul dump it straight in his tank in a video with Humble fish

It works.

Its one of those do as i say not as I do things.. could easily burn some corals of it lands on them.

I use the red sea magnesium but I am not sure if that's the right product it does work. If your LFS does water tests I would see if they can double check the magnesium. As for lights that looks normal I think. In the pictures I guess its just on your moonlight settings so its only white.

Yall did not know this but the key to growing stratosphere zoas is tap water btw!

not knocking Kevin, but this makes a gallon, you have the mixer

I have honestly contemplated doing a tap water tank out of curiosity to see what happens.

They don't test its a very small place.
