My Tank Thread
It went down 100 ppm between march 15 and 22. That is test error unless the salinity went way down.
It went down 30 ppm in 2 days on March 23. That is test error too.
Real magnesium consumption at constant salinity is about 0-2 ppm per day, at about 1/10th of the calcium decline. If calcium is stable, so is magneisum.
Magnesium testing is very prone to test error, especially with the Red Sea kit.
i'm not sure I recommend testing it at all.
