Magnesium test with high range

[morganatlanta]

I'm trying the elevated magnesium method to control a Bryopsis infestation. I'd like to get a magnesium test kit that will handle high ranges (like up to 1800 ppm). The Salifert test says it is good up to 1500 ppm, but I need to go higher. Does anyone have a recommendation for a test (maybe Seachem or Red Sea?) that will measure the high Mg range? Anyone have experience with multiple kits that could compare them on how easy they were to use and how accurate they seem?

If you are using a Salifert kit and you know your level is >1500, just add 1 ml of the reagant, then draw up another and continue. Your Mag level is 1500+ whatever the chart says for the additional amount you have to add over 1ml.

We have a Seachem test kit and it does high levels

What David (acro) said. Seachem does the same thing too.
