dogmatix Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Although the tank is fine my MG is about 2250 !!! Anyone know of any affects to high MG can have. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 wow thats high. i dunno the adverse effects but i do know a fast increase of over 100ppm per day is bad.... have you been using mag supplements obviously? coz kalkwasser etc are usually pretty poor ate supplying mg to the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 havent really been adding mag put in about 200 gm last night coz i hadnt dosed in ages. oh well did a twenty percent change, will retest in a week or so and do a 30-40 % water change.

wasp Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 200g is not a heckuva lot. Well it is, but not enough to take levels that high if they were normal in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 totally agree but i never put that much in in the first place going to get a new test kit just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Are you sure you used the right amounts of everything? Could be you added twice as much tank water as you should have? Meaning your level would be actually be 1125ppm Sometimes the instructions change with test kit revisions, maybe your using new instructions with old reagents? I don't think i'd be particularly worried about it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 haha thx Layton , deffinately not like me to not recheck dodgey results ( i guess its because the kit is almost empty i wanted too spare it) but your bang on i added 5ml instead of 3 Mg is 1350 :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
