    My mag lvl is ~600 and my ca is ~1800. I was dosing tech-m for my bryopsis issue, I think I'm going to stop for a few weeks and do 15-20% wc. What is the first signs of Mg overdose?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Ca is 600 and mag is 1800 right?

    Snails die first with Mag overdoes. You are only suppose to go up 100 ppm per 24 hours.

    I had my Mg 1800 to 2000 with Kent tech M for 6 weeks trying to kill off hair algae. Didn't kill the algae but didn't kill anything else either, including snails.
