Hey Reefers, I just had a situation come up that I'm a bit confused about. I tested my mag and it was 1220ppm, a bit low, so wanted to bring it up to 1350ish. The Red Sea bottle says each ml will raise the mag 1ppm in 25g of water. Red Sea recommends not to raise it more than 10mg p/d. Thinking I was gonna dose on the safe side, I added 10ml p/d to my 45g tank, After 4 days of dosing I tested again and it is at 1600ppm! I checked the "reef app" Red Sea calculator, and it said I should be adding 36ml a day on top of my usual daily dose. I can't imagine what it would be at if I had followed that dosing schedule.
I want to check with the successful reefers here to see if my math is off some where. Or if there might be something I'm overlooking.
I've been having problems with my coral growth coming to a stop and now some dark brown algae that is growing on my corals and killing it. I want to get my parameters back in line with what they were when the tank was doing better.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Kacey
