Coral Essentials Magnesium Up 1.2kg

Our Coral Essentials Magnesium Up is a combination of Magnesium Chloride and Magnesium Sulphate, in a handy 1.2kg bucket. For those marine reefers with large tanks it is an extremely cost effective way of providing your carbonate/alkalinity dosing. You can follow our simple recipe to make up solutions at 12,500ppm to match the magnesium concentration of our renowned Magnesium + Trace pre-mix liquid solution, the full bucket makes up 10L at 12,500ppm. You can also use the familiar Randy’s 1 and 2 mixes.

All instructions for the above are detailed on the bucket itself. Then simply add our Coral Power Potassium and Coral Power Manganese for the complete magnesium dosing additive with essential trace elements. Use our Carbonate Up Mixing Calculator for full mixing quantities and instructions.

For optimum results the magnesium levels in marine tanks need to be checked regularly to determine the uptake in your system. Simply calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. After you have determined this, a regular check of the magnesium levels should be made. Your tank will change over time as coral grows, new pieces are added as well as invertebrates that also take up carbonate. We have found ideal magnesium levels to be at about 1320ppm for most aquariums and are desirable if you want to maintain high levels of growth in a SPS and hard coral dominant system.
