Hi Origami, I have a 75G tank + 20 G sump - 20 G for rocks I guess so water volume should be around 75 G. I mixed 7.25 cups of Mag Chloride + .75 cup of Mag sulfate to make the BRS Mag Mix -- and I normally dose after waiting a day of water change.. to get to Mag to 1300 to 1350 ppm I did water change Saturday and Saturday night reading was Mag 1260 Kh 7.6 Ca 400 No3 10.0 ppm (working on fixing this with GFO and Carbon -- Skimmer -- frequent socks change) I will dose Mag and Kh as advised by AlanM tonight

I am not adding anything anything I do siphon sand when I take the water out though .. not sure of that has anything to do with mg depletion I did water change day before and check my mg it was 1260 I'll check today see if went down or stayed there .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I have always have had ATO since day one .. salinity never fluctuates ... But I'll have to monitor salinity when I dose mg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I prepared another batch of BRS mg mix will raise it to 1300-1350.. Test kit should be correct since this is not the first time I have seen it depleted quick .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if hermits can climb that's ladder and jump off the tank .. to go back to pacific ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a reef builder and reef buffer form Seachem One is to reef builder raise Kh without raising ph and other is to raise both ph and Kh But it seems reefbuilder has both carbonate and bicarbonate .. bottle for reef buffer does not say what it has weard ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see the answer to my question ." Keep up with it " thanks again AlanM Happy weekend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tip AlanM So do you suggest to do more frequent water changes or start adding Kh and Mg as needed on daily basis ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for your advice After doing a lot of research and web crawling. I did manage to make my own stand .. using 2x4s and IKEA scrap cabinet panel. It's functional and working ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not yet but that's a good idea

Hello All, I am new to reef keeping and I need some contact around DMV who can make me a tank stand for a 73 G - 47 X 20 inch stand. My tank has a central overflow and I like something which is modern looking like the red sea, elos type of stand. I have been web crawler for the past week but cannot find anything which will fit my tank. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thx....
