Whats A Good Way To Raise My Magnesium

[brick-brothers]

Hey guys, I just tested my mg in my 120g. My S.G. is at 1.022 and my mag is at 920. Whats a good product to raise my mag?

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Kent Tech M is one.

ESV Magnesium is also a good product.
Whatever you decide to use - read the instructions carefully as Magnesium needs to be raised slowly.

Good looking guys. I use to used the esv part 1 and 2. I'll get the esv mag.
thanks again

using all those mag products will get expensive...try to find Magflake...50lb bag for less than $15 at HD....

Hey Manny,

Before I would go adding any mag to your tank, I would first try to increase the salinity preferably to 35. Just by doing that you will see your mag jump up. Just top off with salt water for a bit until you get to the right level.

Manny I wouldn't raise the salinity any higher then 1.024 or 1.025.
BTW, I use bulkreefsupplies.com products.

If you are running a Calcium Reactor, a great product is Zeomag from Korallen Zucht. Its 100% pure Magnesium Granulate and you mix it in at 1/3 ratio with your Aragonite. This will also help keep things at the proper ratios and keep you Alk, Ca, & Mg at proper soluble ratios. Keep in mind other factors such as Ph and Alk determine how much Mg (and Ca) your system will hold without precipitation and Carbonate build up.

lol there goes mike with his mag flakes, I use bright well mag and my mag is 1500 so I can not complain. Try that out and see what happens, but all in all. please try what you think is best

I use Epson salt from target. I dose it with every water change. I put the whole carton into one gallon of RO water. I pour 1/4 of the mixture into my fresh salt mix. Check my mag and dose as needed.

 

[AlohaTropics]

Epson Salts will work, but with prolonged use, beware of the exponential increase and buildup of Sulfates.

Unfortunately, the swap falls on a bad weekend for me this time so I won't be there. I actually don't normally carry Magflake (Dow) because it's only about 80% magnesium. I have Zeomag 100% Magnesium and also Pelletized Magnesium Chloride which is 98% pure.
