AQUAFOREST - MG Plus - 2000ml - Magnesium for marine aquariums

Why use AQUAFOREST MG Plus in a reef aquarium?

The magnesium is essential for maintaining the balance of seawater and for coral growth. It helps limit the precipitation of calcium and carbonates, thereby facilitating the maintenance of stable parameters. When its concentration becomes insufficient, calcium and alkalinity may be more difficult to maintain, which can disrupt the development of SPS and LPS corals.

AQUAFOREST MG Plus helps compensate for magnesium losses and correct deficiencies with its concentrated liquid formula. Easy to dose, it is suitable both for occasional corrections and regular supplementation. Its 2000 ml format is particularly suitable for large-volume reef aquariums.

What magnesium level should be maintained in a marine aquarium?

AQUAFOREST recommends a magnesium concentration between 1180 and 1460 mg/L (ppm). In practice, a level of around 1250 to 1350 mg/L is generally suitable for many reef aquariums. The essential point is to maintain a stable concentration suited to the aquarium's salinity. Regular tests or ICP analyses can be used to monitor its evolution and adjust supplementation according to the corals' needs.

AQUAFOREST MG Plus 2000 ml dosage

The dosage depends on the aquarium's water volume and the desired increase. Two MG Plus formulations are available, with different concentrations:

• New formula (red badge): 10 ml increase magnesium by 10 mg/L in 100 liters of water.
• Old formula (without red badge): 10 ml increase magnesium by 7,5 mg/L in 100 liters of water.

Before each addition, it is recommended to measure the magnesium level and calculate the required quantity according to the aquarium's actual volume. It is recommended not to increase the concentration by more than 50 mg/L per day. In the event of a significant deficiency, supplementation should be spread over several days. Magnesium should also be stabilized before adjusting calcium and alkalinity.

Usage instructions and precautions

MG Plus can be added gradually to a well-circulated area of the aquarium or to the sump to ensure good distribution. A dosing pump can also be used to divide the supplementation into smaller doses and maintain a consistent magnesium level. The product is intended exclusively for aquarium use, must not be ingested, and must be kept out of the reach of children.
