KH, CA, Mg Result Questions

[ChandlerTingle]

So I’m new to the reefing chemistry but I just tested my water and these are the results I got. Are they good and what’s the level they are supposed to be at?
*Syringe tips are over the results I got

Results look good to me. Magnesium and alkalinity are a little high but should not cause any harm. I use the same test kits by the way. They are accurate. I like RedSea a lot.

So I‘m assuming it would deplete but is this correct more coral you have the faster it depletes

All 3 are well over natural seawater parameters. What salt are you using, and what is your salinity, and how are you testing for salinity?

Hmm. IO will mix a little high on the big 3, but usually not that high. Are you dosing anything? Are you calibrating the refractometer with a 35 ppt standard?
