    i started out using seachem, and kept mag at 1500 ppm. when it ran out i bought the salifert and it said my mag was at 2600 ppm :eek:
    i always had to add mag to fresh salt mix. i use corallife, they claimed to have 1350 ppm mag. with the seachem test it was low and with the salifert test it was dead on at 1350 ppm.
    so, who is wrong? all the salt brands and salifert mag tests or seachem mag tests?

    Salifert has worked the best for me.

    Its a hobby AND a way of life.
