New to this site, so hello all!
I know there is not much out there as far as concrete information on possibilities of high Mg levels and to whether they may or may not be toxic to corals- I have a 180 gallon with favias, acros, euphellias, montipora capricornis, you name it. All are doing very well. I test water every 4 days and everything is spot on stable, Alk 8.9, Ca 450, pH 8.2, Salinity 1.0255, Nitrates trace at most as same for Phosphates. I do 15% changes each week using Brightwell salt/mineral mix and my Mg levels are always constant at 1440 which seems a bit high. Just curious if anyone has relevant info on whether or not this not so out of whack level can prove to be toxic or inhibiting in the long run to coral growth or not to worry. My frags all show good growth and calcification- I use a MRC reactor which is finely tuned, heavy skimming, and an entire separate room for Berlin sump and separate refugium. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thx!
