Hello all!
Really need help, before i stuck a needle in....well, something....
So,i tested ca,alk and mg, and i got readings
Ca:500
Alk:9
Mag:1660
I did some water change, after that, readings were:
Ca:480
Alk:9
Mag;1410
I didn't dose anything for a full week, only yesterday i put 20ml (that is dosage) of brightwell koral color, and 10ml of brightwell restor (got some poor looking sps, trying to save them)....
Today, i tested:
Ca: 450
Alk: 7
Mag: 1710 !!!!!
Test is aquaforrest, it is correct, i checked it with "calibration" solution. Other parameters are in range, temp is 27C, salinity 1026, no3:10, po4:<0,02. Topping of with rodi water, 0tds. Salt i use is aquaforest sea salt...
What in the world can cause mag levels to rise, without dosing anything? I feed with formula one and two flakes, some diy food, same as always, newer had such problem.
Only thing, not sure how relevant is, i feed with mussels, one every few days, just slice one, and throw in tank, tomorrow i pickup empty shell. Is it possible that mussel affect magnesium levels?
Other thing, i tried some brightwell sps and softies food, per instructions, didn't feed with that everyday.... Can i blame them for such magnesium rising?
Sorry, i know it's stupid....
