What salt mix are you using?

How are you measuring the magnesium?

Hi @Randy Holmes-Farley ,

Instant Ocean purple bag.

Red Sea Foundations Pro Mg titration.

I will admit what orig prompted the 50% WC was a Mg testing >1600. I think I had my doser misprogrammed and instead of RO/DI it sent Part 3. The 50% WC brought it down to around 1600, (0.80 mL test as far as I can tell from the titration).

Nothing gets by you!

FWIW, the Red Sea kit does seem to provide confounding results for many people.

Happy reefing.
