Salifert mag test.

[Notsolostfish]

I dont know what’s the deal with my mag test. But it always shows my tank at 1420. Now i was believing this results. Till i sent an icp test and it came that my mag is 1320. Which is good. And trident shows my tank mag at 1350. Now the weird part i dont know what am i doing wrong for my mag to show high mag all the time. Im following the instructions to the tea. 2ml, 5 drops, shake for 10 seconds or swirl i should say. Pull 1ml under the line at the top. Add drop by drop. I have brs magnetic stirrer. And i do drop 2 seconds drop. Im confused this is my second box from salifert with mag. I am not going crazy over numbers.. ik my mag is good. But i thought iw as at 1400. Range.

Sounds frustrating. . . I have adopted the RMM Method personally:

Just say NO to magnesium testing: RMM is born

OK, this thread has been many years in the making, and I'm posting it here since folks in the chem forum are probably already tired of all the threads relating to problematic magnesium testing. I'm going to propose a method, let's call it the Randy Magnesium Method, or RMM for short. All good...

It’s actually fine there a lot of people are keeping their mag at 1500 now, Torch corals love it at 1500 along with a lot of other Corals

I know. But im disappointed that my mag is not 1400 im afraid since icp, and trident confirmed that my mag is at 1350. Salifert testing is wrong
