Troubleshooting
Magnesium levels are not rising as expected
Verify your testing equipment is accurate and recalibrate if necessary. Check that the stock solution was prepared with the correct ratio of 10g powder to 1000ml deionized water.
Precipitation occurring in the aquarium
Ensure that you are not dosing calcium or alkalinity buffers at the exact same time; allow time for the supplement to disperse in the water column before adding other chemicals.
