Hi all.

I did a water change and tested my levels. This is first time testing mag and all.

PH 8.3 ammonia/nitrites/nitrates 0. Phos .25. Calcium 450 alk 13. Mag was off charts but I'm guessing 2000. I only add instant ocean reef salt. My tank is a 36 gallon bow front with 40 lbs live rock and sand. I have 2 850 korolia power heads. 90 reef octo skimmer hob. Aqua clear 50 hob filter. Only have 2 maroons emerald crab arrow crab cuc brittle star and hammer coral. Any ideas why my mag and alk are so high. Thanks.

Red sea test kits. I'll make up a gallon and test.

 

For the Red Sea mag test, you have to add a drop, swirl for X seconds, add another drop, swirl, etc. A total of 5 drops if I recall correctly. This tripped me up and was one reason I switched to Salifert. The high KH is kind of expected, IO runs high.
