I use the Mg Chloride so I had to look up your instructions.. If you want to go back up to 1450...

BRS instructions for Mg Mix:

Knowing how much to dose is made simple using the BRS Reef Calculator!

Create a 1-gallon solution by following the Mixing Instructions above and then test your aquariums current magnesium level and using the BRS Reef Calculator input your current and desired magnesium levels along with your total system water volume. Choose BRS Liquid Magnesium Mix (New Pharma Pouch) option from the drop-down menu and select calculate. The result will be how much magnesium solution you will need to add to raise your aquariums water volume to the desired level. We suggest adding small amounts at a time into a high flow area of the tank, like a power heads output or a sump baffle. It is important to keep changes limited to under 100ppm or less per day to not shock your corals.

I used it and it said I needed 365ml I just thought that was a lot but I guess not I thought when I was setting a dosing pump up it dropped a bit and all I needed was like 100 ish mil to go to a simular point I added 100 and now I’ll wait till morning and test again... thanks for the info
