Hi,
My tank is coming up to 5 months. Havnt really tested my magnesium until about a week ago.
Tested using salifert. 1200ml was what I got. Tested twice.
I'm using fauna marin magnesium mix balling light. Used there calculator to make a correction using my doser.
It was around 150ml of dose a day for 5 days.
Tested before and a few hours after and it did rise it by a small amount to 1250 after the first dose.
Measured it the next morning it had dropped down to 1200 again.
Carried on with the dosing for 5 days. Measured every morning raised it a small amount, next morning after the last dose it was 1200 again.
Now after some reading magnesium dosnt get used alot.
Does this excessive amount seem right to you?
I couldn't get it raised to 1300ml until I added 300ml of dose. It's now at 1300ml.
Kh is 8.3 and stable using the doser.
Cal is 420 again stable.
I'm just struggling with the magnesium.
Was using tropic marin salt, but the last water change I switched to fritz blue box.
Any help or correction would be appreciated as I feel I'm doing something wrong.
