Hi there!
I’m new to reefing. have a 10 gallon Nano tank that’s around 4 months old. Everything in the tank seems happy, but I’m consistently getting low magnesium readings. (Using Red Sea magnesium test kit and a timer). I do 20% water changes about every week to week and a half. Two weeks ago I started dosing 2x weekly with 1/2 tsp of the attached supplement in 1/2 cup water. Magnesium is still hovering around 1040 ppm. Last night I measured, added the magnesium, and this morning tested again and it was still the same (1040). Not sure what to do?
Other parameters:
Alk 9.2
Calcium 410
Nitrate 2.4
pH 8.2
Phosphate .13
Salinity 1.023
Temp 79.1
Photos of the tank and supplement attached. The feather duster got mad because I turned on the white light for the picture. I have Coralife LEDs that usually are kept on blue.
Any help would be appreciated!
