Using Red Sea, my magnesium was low 8 days ago. So, I followed the BRS calculator with a slightly aggressive guess at water volume and raised up to 1440. That's fine.
Today, having added no magnesium, my test results were 1560, and that's with a hint of purple.
How could magnesium rise on its own? Could dosing alk+calc cause the magnesium to appear higher? Do I suck at running the test kit? Is the test kit nuts?
I let the tank settle after the dosing last week but maybe not enough?
