@MarineandReef Jaron what is you dilution numbers of phosphate remover to rodi water?
I only dilute the TLF product because it is recommended. I don't know how the concentration of the brightwell product compares so I don't feel qualified to tell you how much to dilute it.

. However it will be hard to tell the effect at the start because my phosphate checker is a Hanna ULR and it’s maxing out at .9

If you dilute the tank water sample with new salt water before testing it, you can get a handle on the actual value and how it is changing as you try to lower it.

@Randy Holmes-Farley Question I made your recipe #1, Part 3B for magnesium using epson salt at 3cups and pure magnesium flakes at 5 cups in some RODI water. Mixed it and added to a clean milk jug then topped off more RODI to create a gallon.
Wondering couple things are these mag flakes good for this situation and a good replacement to the dead sea mag?
Also is there a calculator for this recipe to figure how much I can dose in ML to raise a set ppm?
Finally, this is okay to dose with All For Reef at different times to avoid precipitation, but use with All For Reef?

MAG is currently at 1100 and want to get it back up to like 1400-1500 and got it up once but it was once I had to hand dose and so I didn't maintain it and think my torches would love the elevated MAG.
