I still have a big bucket of Tmp from Germany that was shipped as replacement for Turkey crap. It has been unopened and will slowly change over to RSBB. So far I have been using TMP from Germany as the old tanks perked up after throwing away almost a bucket of Turkey. Any ideas on who might want some German based TMP? After reading Shane's thread a while ago been so tempted to junk it all. So far the German made has been consistent and is no longer going to be used as I get more and more acros.

I use german made right now and it's been fine after throwing out my Turkey and getting it replaced. Luckily only lost one acro and a lion fish disappeared somehow in my nano? Maybe the salt idk haven't heard any other fish deaths. It does mix to much lower Magnesium than advertised though, I always dose it.

Duck duck go doesnt like cookies and what not. Part of their security protocol. I always have this issue in duck duck go with deeplinking

We started dosing Magnesium a lot and the results have been insane.

Currently in one of our systems which is 560 Gallons We have not been dosing Mag. We didn’t have to dose mag or so we thought… We used to use the tropic Marin pro salt from Turkey which claims to have mag at 1380 and since we were doing weekly water changes of 15%, plus dosing esv ionic alc and calc which have some mag we didn’t dose it. Then we switch about 7 months ago to red sea Blue bucket, which is very low in mag. Over time we didn’t realize but our mag dropped to around 1325 and just stayed there for a few months. We didn’t think anything about it since we dose 125ML per day of ESV alk and 90 ML per day calc. There is some mag being dosed from that. So, for months we just let our mag stay at 1325. It didn’t move up or down so we though it was fine and stable.

Now here is the good part- We started dosing mag in this tank about 35 days ago. We have been dosing 180ML per day of esv Ionic and I know it sounds like a lot, but the mag has not changed. Which means the corals must be consuming it like crazy! One thing we did notice is our coralline algae started growing out of control. And when I mean out of control, I mean fully covered Frag racks within 30 days. around 35days ago we cleaned our frag racks and scrubbed off all the algae to get ready for a sale we where having, and now 35 days later the racks are completely covered in Coraline. See pics attached. We also noticed that the front glass is completely now caked in coralline and the bottom of the tank with no sand is completely covered.

We believe this is from dosing the mag. So, we tried it in a second system, and guess what? It produced the same results. In conclusion if you think your corals are not growing fast enough start dosing mag. If your mag is hovering around 1325-1350, I bet your tank is mag deficient. We found that once it drops it just kind of stays at a low level and doesn’t get lower. We challenge you to try this and report back your results. Also don’t worry about overdosing mag because it takes a lot to get the tank saturated. Since we started dosing the 180 ML per day our mag has not gone up the tank just consumes it. (See attached our triton Screenshot you will see the mag has barely moved.

We will continue to dose mag and see if we can raise it and get a sweet spot. In the meantime, we are loving the coralline and increased coral growth.

Now that you mention it, I raised mine to 1460, won't go higher even if I dose more, and everything cakes in coralline instantly, thought it was just the tank being older but this also makes sense.
