I try to keep my salinity around 34ppt - 35ppt.
My tank is a AP24g nano.
I tested (Salifert test kit) my magnesium last week and it was down around 1200.
According to the "Reef Chemistry Calculator" I would need to add about 16oz of Randy's Magnesium supplement to get my mag up to 1500.
I mixed up the 7.25c of MagFlakes and .75c of Epsom Salts in a 1 gallon container with RO/DI water.
Today, before doing a water change, I tested my salinity and it was up around 37ppt (using a refractometer, calibrated today with Pinpoint 53.0mS fluid)
Did the additions of the Magnesium supplement cause my salinity to go up this high?
Thanks for your input.
