Adding Mg and still tests LOW

One would think but I've done a few water changes 15 gal yesterday and about 10 today I've got to test now...

I wish I could be more of a help to you Linda, but I feel like my hands are tied.

this started before the Mg raise I've had it low in the tank and I've had it high in the tank. I'm thinking from what I've read my ca is usually low and that could be the cause.

Sometimes its not even the parameters, it could just be that it wasnt in great condition to begin with or the transport wasnt a good one. In any case, I wish you luck. Luna
