Magnesium consumption on large tank...need help
So my tank is coming along pretty good. Corals for the most part have settled in and are doing well. There are a few that are not growing but still alive. I am dosing mg (200ml), cal (10ml), and alk (90ml) each day. I need to verify that my doser is accurate but I am averaging 1320 ppm but I want much higher. I am wondering for bigger tanks what is the daily mg consumption? Just looking to get some ideas before I start adjusting my doser amount again.
I have a SPS dominated tank and several large caps which are notorious for consuming Mg but seems like I am dosing a lot of Mag just to keep it stable. Current parameters as of yesterday are as follows:
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

What dosing products are you using, how old is the tank and how long has this extra demand been? I use triton on 2 systems and often find the systems go through a period of needing a lot of magnesium.
Dose through it and it’ll stopped eventually - also get an ICP done if you don’t have a recent one, because it might be that you’re also low on something else like strontium which won’t be helping the situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Cracking build by the way - just quickly flicked through to get a better idea (still need those questions answering though).
Do you have a decent FTS you could share? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Cool - get the ICP sorted and then let’s have a look
