There will be substantial precipitation of magnesium hydroxide when such a high pH solution is added to seawater. The magnesium hydroxide will eventually redissolve and is likely not a problem, but I was surprised when you said you saw no solids. Perhaps the flow rate was high enough to sweep it away.
