The recommended level is 1250-1350. so you're not really out of whack. If you have lots of coralline it will aid in the useup rate. (If you don't you may soon). If you stick with weekly water changes the level should subside.

Have you been adding any suppliments for Mag., or is this the level achieved by the salt mix? If it's just the salt, then the source for high Mag. is likely Oceanic. IO usually mixes to a Mag. level of 1170-1200. Maybe just use IO for your next couple of water changes.

definatly salt mix i made to changes because i thought something was wrong and its because of the mix ill let it ride thanks for the advice i usually keep it at1300-1350 solid but its prob the reason for less polyp extension
