Best way to raise Magnesium

rdnyva · #1 09/17/2006, 07:29 AM

My mag level is at 1100 and I know it should be between 1300-1500 but am having a hard time rasing it. I've been adding Seachem Reef Magnesium but it takes allot to raise it a little and becomes expensive. Any suggestions. BTW I have no coraline algae growth at all and suspect the low mag is the reason. TIA
