Magnesium Spiked. Should I be worried?

[Sdoutreefer]

Mag spiked to about 1365. Should I be worried for my Stoney corals?

Mine is at 1440, acros are all fine. You know what is causing the spike? That would be my eminent concern, and that it doesn't continue spiking upward.

I think it’s from me trying to raise my salinity. That’s the only thing that has changed.

Mine 1500, corals still happy with it, even sometimes risen on 1650 to reduce the algae, still fine

1360 ppm is a perfectly fine magnesium level. :)

Thanks everyone. I'll calm down now :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Pretty positive from my test. I just thought overall anything greater than 1340 was a problem. Then when Rhaet said he raises Mag to combat algae, I remembered we can get Mag pretty high without seeing adverse affects.
