    the part where you talk about how Mg is used by corals in the place of Ca helped me out at TON. my Ca is low right now and my Mg keeps dropping and I didn't understand why until this video.

    Thanks for the Video! Do Potassium next! How do you feel about higher than natural seawater levels of Potassium?

    Thanks for the video and I learned something today. Out of all the test kits, I probably am guilty of not testing magnesium as much as I should. This video helped me understand chemistry better. I'd like to see a video on how important it is to test and dose trace elements in our tanks and if it really important outside of what trace elements we may get in the salt we may use.

    My vote is for Potassium and Iron. I understand they play a very important role in reef chemistry. I believe it's Justin Credabel that advocates testing and dosing of both Potassium and Iron/Manganese for enhanced color and vitality in reef tanks. I just thought you might be able to better explain their purpose and possibly desired parameters a little more clearly.

    Are corals susceptible to magnesium flactuations?Are there any ill effects to lets say raising magnesium fast via dosing and if so what would be a safe raise per day.Thanks.

    I'm always curious about how much carbon plays a part in atripping elements like magnesium and needed proteins from the water column. Have you ever tested these chemical levels before and after carbon usage. I feel some people over use carbon.

    • @MattWeber
      @MattWeber 7 років тому +3

      Strontium and potassium tests are so annoying.. Strontium because it also registers as calcium so you end up testing for both to get an accurate result with the strontium test. Potassium is just a very involved test especially if using the red sea kit.

    Hi Than, left my lfs yesterday with a 1700 mag level. Calcium 420 and Alk 11, so thise were fine. But what harm can my high Mag level cause? Thanks

    Does ppm of Mg also tired to Salinity? One period, my tank salinity is 1.021, ppm of Mg always is 1050~1080. No matter I dose Ca/Mg reeftonic from "aquarium systems".

    what about high levels of magnesium 1590+ppm is there any ill effects long term

    • @tidalgardens
      @tidalgardens  7 років тому

      I've had very high levels of magnesium before and I didn't have any specific issues. In my experience it is more important to keep chemistry as stable as possible rather than chasing numbers, but long term, I try to trend everything towards NSW levels.

    Wait wait wait there wasn’t anything inside your syringe. You were pushing an air bubble in the video. Yeah your plunger stopped at a certain point but there was no reagent inside the syringe so that wasn’t an accurate measurement. I know this because I have the same problem

    • @Whosever
      @Whosever Рік тому

      If you pull the plunger until the 1ml mark and then push it to the 0.2 ml mark you will be putting 0.8 ml to the solution even if there is a bubble on the top, that doesn't matter unless you start getting air OUT the tip instead of the regent
