ok so i have been dosing the recomended stock solution for a while now and the mg wont budge passed 1200 and if i skip a day and wait 48 hours to...
What is your calcium and mag at? If alk is low I would believe calcium and mg would be low as well.
That makes sense.
Tank is 16 months old. I just started testing mg two weeks ago and seen it was low and decided to fix it before I get my stonies
Update. Mg 1240 ca 460 dkh 10.9 I can see this is a very slow process lol

well i deffinately did it wrong i added 15 half tsps (37.5 grams) of the magesion powder to 8 oz of water mixed it up and dumped into the sump. the...
so is this correct? since my initial mg started out at 1140, i should add 40 grams of powder for a roughly 80 gallons of water? im still confused. it...
That's what I started doing now for mg testing. I got it raised to 1200 yesterday and am waiting to test again and dose as needed. I figured 1140...
When should I test after adding the supplement?
