Lol why not Steve? Is it because of his music choices last night?
 
My magnesium target has always been 1400 or a little higher. Euphyllia love it, not that I don’t believe the expert on here but my eyes don’t lie.
I thought about just posting a thread that was just titled "Magnesium" and and see how many posts it took before the.... "Randy" says we shouldn't test mag" brigade came in. One source, one article, one opinion. Sounds super scientific to me! 😆

Let’s say he’s right and my magnesium test is off by 100. What ever amount I keep it stable at makes my euphyllia happy and the test allows me to keep it stable at at level. The “ but Randy says “ people drive me nuts.
