Acceptable day to day changes in parameters?

How do I find where to do this

What does red sea recommend as the maximum daily increase for these parameters?

Appreciate you taking the time to post this, it helps tremendously! 1.4dkh is quite a bigger change then I thought would be ok

There's no possible way that magnesium will vary by 25 ppm in a day unless you are letting the salinity vary. Real magnesium consumption is typically 0-2 ppm per day, about 1/10th of the calcium consumption, or less). Calcium will only drop that much in a high demand tank, where alk is dropping more than 3 dKH per day.

Boosting calcium or magnesium by 25 ppm in a day is fine, assuming it is a reasonably pure supplement.

If the rate of consumption is so low, how did my mag reading drop to 1150 so quickly? Also why is the difference between a reading of 1150 ppm and one of 1350 ppm supposedly so important?
