Probably... but honestly it's not good to raise the Mg too quickly anyway, just like with most of the other parameters. I recommend just buying the two-part from BRS. It will probably take about 2 gallons of solution dosed over a couple weeks to get you up to 1450 or so (personally I recommend having it above 1400). I just went through this very same thing! The change in the display was quite noticeable. Everything looks a lot better, the rock is cleaner, and the corals are a bit more colorful. It also allows the Ca levels in the tank to maintain at a higher level.
Agreed on the ATO... once I added mine it was a whole different ballgame. And the skimmer was more efficient as well.
