For a few weeks now iv been monitoring my cal and mag lvls and dosing to keep the 2 within optimum ranges , it first started with a little cal a few times a week and then I started tech m , now I'm dosing both daily , if I don't they disappear at an increasing rate .
On average cal drops from 440-450 to 380-350 daily mag drops from aprox 1300 to 1200-1160 average.
Iv been recording this daily along with every other test I have and performing regular water changes.
I just wondered if this was normal.
I makes since that the calcium goes faster with higher magnesium as they aid eachother in the calcification process.
 
What about your alk? Whats your level and are you dosing for it? The 3 need to be in harmony.
 
Dkh is 10 it stays up with water changes , iv been watching it as well , but its pretty steady
 
Quit dosing tech m. Get regular magnesium. Tech m is good for killing Algae but bad for your tank

I'll do that .
I got it with a box of dry goods I purchased from a member getting out , it came along with a bottle of algae killer as well so that's most likely what they were doing.
It's a gallon jug 3/5 full so I was just trying to use some of it.
Is there a particular magnesium supplement you would suggest over others ?
