Magnesium dosing with Calcium reactor

[SamsReef]

Hello Randy or anyone with years of successful calcium reactor user,

I have recently switched back to Calcium reactor. Several years back, when i used to use calcium reactor, I used to dolomite to the reactor media. recently came across, extra coarse media from Caribsea which claims to have high Mag...their analysis however shows not that high. can you see the ppm and tell me if this is enough Mag or should i dose separately as well..

The course is quite low in magnesium relative to what some corals consume, but I'd wait and see what happens to magnesium before worrying about dosing.

i did measure before switching over...MG was at 1350 on salifert. Will measure in a few days.
