I have been letting the system sit and have been trying to get the water balanced out properly. I think I have everything where it needs to be at this point with only one exception. The only parameter that I think is out of balance right now is the magnesium. (The ph is a little low, but I have a good idea of how to fix that now.) I have looked around, but have not found much about how to increase the magnesium level. Following are the tanks current parameters.

Calcium (ppm) 446
(KH) Alkalinity (meg/L) 3.71
KH (Alkalinity) (dKH) 10.4
Salinity 1.025
Temperature 82
pH (acceptable 7.8-8.5) 8.00
Nitrate (ppm) 0 mg/L
Magnesium (ppm) 1050

Any thoughts?
