When adding Magnesium, Alkalinity, and Calcium into my 150 gal tank today, I realized I added Magnesium twice having mistaken it for Calcium. Is it a big deal to have Mg go up 15 ppm in a single dose? I would think not, but ask because Red Sea advises not increasing more than 10 ppm / day.
My levels were low to begin with:
1225 Mg, 5.6 Alk, 375 calcium.
My plan is to raise each incrementally over several days until I reach 1350 Mg, 400 Ca, Alk 7.5-8.0
Still new to the chemistry aspect of how these three all interrelate. Am I correct to assume that my error is no big deal?
