I am really leaning toward the salt mix. I’m on my second box of this brand but I just started testing magnesium, calcium, and alkalinity because I just started adding coral. I had my refractometer calibrated so I know that it is correct and I have been to four different LFS and they all say my salinity is 1.025.
True. The main reason I am thinking it is my salt mix is because I’ve had it tested at three different LFS’ and they were all very close to the same reading. Could that still be the Red Sea test kits because they all use the same test kit that I have?Why not test error? As folks noted, the Red Sea kit gives folks lots of trouble with inaccurate readings.
You've posted values of 1800+, 1600+, and 1580. It is not moving around that much.
Okay, That makes me believe I have a bad test kit because I have really nice coral and great Coraline algae growth. I do water changes every Saturday. I usually do between 12 gallons and 15 gallons on a 32 gallon tank.Nothing is wrong with 1520 magnesium . It’s just slightly high .
when my magnesium was crazy high every speck of algae disappeared. Coraline algae took a hit to .
It seams that the only solution for many or most problems is ( drumroll) water changes .
