I'm kind of lost at this point. My magnesium levels will not increase. I have a 13.5 gallon tank. For salt, I use Aquavitro Salinity and mix with RO water to 1.026. For dosing, I use All for Reef and Aquavitro Ions (magnesium). I dose 3ml daily of AFR and about 4ml of Ions daily. The tank also as a decent amount of macro algae growth that I believe to be Dragon's breath. I am currently dealing with a green hair algae or turf algea. I am dosing almost 7ml daily and I feel like this is a decent amount of dosing per day. I want to increase more but I am nervous about killing some of the corals as well as the snails.
My latest parameters are: pH - 8.0 , Kh - 8.4 , Mg - 1280, Ca - 390, Phos - 0.03, Nitrate - 8.
My tank's stock: Yellow watchmen, pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, 5 ceriths, 1 emerald crab, 3 astrea, 9 zoo frags, green hairy mushroom, 2 cyphastrea, 6 scans, 1 hammer, 1 frogspawn (2 heads), GSP, and a rhodactis.
