I cant get a kit in for a few days

I am sure my Mag is low because I can not get my Cal above 320. I have added 2 part and still nothing. I made some Mag today from Ebsom Salt. How should I dose this?

Use the dosing calculator on the home page.

I would get a magnesium measurement before dosing anything, personally. The problem might be with the calcium kit or with the way the supplement is being added.

Ya, I should wait till i get a test kit. I don't think it is the stuff I am dosing with because I have used 3 diffrent things. I am almost sure it is Mag. I have not did a water change in a bit and I have added some sps. So there is a larger load on the system now. Funny how things build up over time. Let this me a lesson kids.

+2 for waiting. Never add anything you can't test for. You can come to regret that.
