It takes a healthy level of mag and dKh to keep the ph right & steady. That’s what I’ve always done to maintain my tanks.
Magnesium has nothing to do with pH in seawater, and cannot ever explain an imbalance where calcium is high and alk is normal.
What it does do is reduce the rate of precipitation of calcium carbonate. That cannot cause high calcium.
