My Tank Thread
I don't understand the question.
If the corals are not yet there, why do you want to see higher demand for calcium and alkalinity?
1300 ppm is a fine magnesium level. If you are not needing calcium and alkalinity, you also do not need to be dosing magnesium unless it is an old, neglected aquarium. A new salt mix will normally have plenty if made to 35 ppt salinity.
