In a reef aquarium

Magnesium keeps calcium and carbonate in solution: without enough Mg, Ca and KH tend to precipitate as unwanted chalk faster. It is a major ion in seawater and affects osmosis and biology. Most reefs run best with stable Mg in the right band.

Quick tips

  • Use the same unit for reading and target (e.g. both ppm, both dKH for KH, or both ppt for salinity).
  • Volume = effective system water in liters (rough estimate is OK, but the cleaner the better).
  • This only plans increases. If you are already too high, the tool will not offer a “raise” dose: use water changes, media, or advice from your coach — not more of the same product upward.
