29 gallon reef
15 gallon sump (approximately 10 gallons water, for a total volume of 39 gallons)
Been running for about 8 weeks.
ph: 8.4
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20
SG: 1.025
alk: 130 ppm (or 7.5 dKH, or 2.68 meq/l)
calcium: 450 ppm
phosphate: 0
temp: 77
MAGNESIUM: 270 PPM
Magnesium at 270 ppm, tested using a Salifert test kit. From what I understand, it should be 1250-1350. So, I've got a ways to go. I've got Kent 'Tech-M' magnesium supplement. The directions say to add 1 ml per gallon per day, raising the magnesium 18.3 ppm per day. At that rate, it'll take 56 days to get the level to 1300 ppm. Is there any easier way to raise the level safely?
