mag test kit

using red sea magnesium test kit, I am doing the tritration and get to reagent C... I used 1.25 ml of reagent to get to the endpoint color change!!!! surely I cannot have 2500 ppm mag right??? wouldnt this kill everything already?

 

have you ever tested for mag before?

 

it was around 1350 last time.. Im doing the brs two part. finished the jugs of alk and calcium, it said to dump in teh mag... ok just read the two part instructions it meant 20oz of mag, not the rest of the jug! lol so I have 2500 ppm mag allright. ;D

 

my parameters are

alk- 9
ca2- 480
salt- 26
ph- 8.1

 

well there ya go...gotta read those instructions.

your snails will die first....
