I have read a few threads regarding high magnesium and most hobbyists say they have no problems with that parameter running upward of 1600. I must of had a bad salifert test kit because it has been reading 1380 for me for a few months. I took my water to a LFS and they did a spin test and it's 1720. I turned off my doser and did a 15% water change but I have noticed pale colors on several of my sps frags. Some look bleached white but are not dead.
I was curious if anyone has photo's of negative results they have seen from high magnesium?
I know this could be several other parameters so I will include my other readings. The tank is only 5 months old and was started with dry rock as well as the frits/ammonia method. I am battling some algae blooms right now as well.
Red Sea Pro Salt
SG 1.025
KH 11.5
Ca 450
Mg 1720
Phosphate 0.1 (could be part of it?)
Nitrate 0 (could be part of it?)
pH 8.2
PAR 200-250
