Magnesium

[Vansaquaescape]

So I have been testing my water Everyday and my parameters are
420 Calcium
8.5 to 9.3 Kh
1200 Magnesium
Started adding Kent’s magnesium for 3 days and can not get it to Raise. Any Advice ? Would be much appreciated have a Kung Pow Monti on the way and would like it to be around 1300. Also when mixing saltwater batches How long should I wait before using the saltwater ?

Depending on salt mix at least 24 hours.
Did u use the mag calculator to see how much you need to add to raise it?

It takes a huge amount of magnesium to boost levels. Way more than other additives.

BRS made a great video on different salt mixes and how they take to fully dissolve.

I ordered coral pro salt from Red Sea. Haven’t made any yet. But my local fish store has magnesium at 1200 always so hopefully this will be less maintaining and higher. It’s says it’s like 1280 to 1340
