Mg level

I just got a tester and tested my magnesium level. 840...no wonder I couldn't grow coralline!!! Dern........

Ya'll, I leave tomorrow and will be back next Saturday. I will try to get on tomorrow night at the hotel. If not, then I'll see ya next week...have a great one! Don't kill my fish, try not to tear the house up and NO COPS while I'm gone!!!!!!!!!......whoops I've been repeating that for a week now..........;D

 

You had better work on getting that Mg up. Espon Salt will work if you have any.

 

no crap and I looked at it today I have Ocean's Blend Magnesium...hmmmmm....do we have a mag. calc on here....let me look...


wow a lot more is needed than what I have I have to use 26.7 oz of Epsom Salt.... Keeping under 100 ppm per day until raised....wow crap wish I had done this earlier.....is that why my mushrooms always disappear?

 

'Reef Chemistry Calculator FV'

 

Yep Otty I did it I added it to the last post Thanks dude!!

 

3 measuring cup should put you at about 1400 I think you have a 55 ?

 

yes it is Tangster, Can I mix that with the kalk drip or is that a no no?

 

No ! Never ever mix anyhing with a kalk drip just toss the dry Epsomsalts in the sump or any high flow area of water .. Keep a eye on you calcium levels as you drip Kalk. May need to boost the Calcium a tad ?

 

10-4 Thanks! I found that if I do the 2TBsp in 1 gallon of water, every other night it keeps my calcium at 440-460. And it keeps my top offs regulated too. This is good(?)

 

Thats what you need to keep up long term once you start a Kalk or Ca. reactor you can't really stop or the tank will respond in a not so favorable way..

Alsoo with the corallines you need a good source of seeding to get them in the system..
