question about raising Magnesium using Tech M
 
My Mg level is 1150 and I want to raise it to 1350. I have a 200 gallon system. How much Kent Tech M can I safely add daily to raise this level?

The label says to use 1ml per gallon per day but I believe I read that I can dose more.

follow the instructions. there are two different strengths of kent Tech M so find out which one you have by reading the output of the tool and dose accordingly.

I'd raise it no more than 100 ppm per day. In this case, I'd probably go with three doses over three days.

I agree with bertoni 100%, i have used Tech-M for over 3 years and never had any problems.
though i have never heard of two strengths of Tech-M, i use the one gallon container premixed.
[url]www.marinedepot.com[/url] has it cheaper than any site ive searched.
