    Hey guys, just wondering what products are best to raise magnesium, My levels are at 1200, not bad, but I should still probably have some type of supplement since I plan on adding more corals and am not currently dosing anything

    Bulk Reef Supply has great prices if you don't mind mixing your own.

    I use what a friend makes at the LFS, they use the stuff through Bulk Reef already stated. It may just be me but 1200 is low IMHO, I believe the low end should be around 1300. As natural sea water is at 1285, and your corals and inverts will be using it for their skeletons.

    +4 on the BRS Mag Solution. They have great vids on how to mix and have a great online calculator for dosage amounts.
