    I would like to raise my mag. by around 100ppm (slightly less would be better then slightly more). I put my info into this reef calculator Reef Chemistry Calculator and its showing me to dose 750 ml. This just seems like a TON, but might be whats needed. I have my total tank volume at around 75gal. with sump/rock/sand.

    I have went to other calculators and they are showing me the exact same thing. Just wanted to double check quickly.

    BTW: Mag-1260 going to 1360 and as stated ESV B-ionic Mag. supplement.

    You need to dose a lot of Mg to get your numbers up. Keep track of your specific gravity/salinity as dosing large amounts of Mg can cause it to rise quickly.
