Marine Power Advanced Magnesium

Marine Power Advanced Magnesium It is used to independently prepare a liquid for magnesium supplementation in a marine aquarium. The preparation is mainly intended for larger tanks with the predominance of SPS / LPS calcifying corals. With less magnesium consumption, we recommend using a preparation in the form of a ready fluid - Marine Power Easy Magnesium.

Meaning of magnesium in the aquarium
Magnesium is quantitatively third after soda and chlorides with sea water. Its presence significantly affects the availability of calcium and strontium for the calcification of corals (SPS / LPS) and for many marine organisms, such as snails, mussels. Magnesium is an important biocivilian for marine organisms, because it participates in many metabolic processes.

Optimal MG level
The level of magnesium in coral reefs is around 1280-1320 mg / l. In most domestic sea tanks, the magnesium level should be maintained in a similar extent, at a permanent standard. Exceeding 10-15% are not dangerous for the aquarium holder, although they can stress the corals.
 

Application Marine Power Advanced Magnesium
In a correctly functioning marine aquarium, MG constantly defeats, mainly due to the calcification process. Although magnesium is not the main component of the coral skeleton, its ions are often built into the skeleton and for some species of magnesium corals constitute more than 3% of the skeleton structure. In addition, magnesium prevents excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate. Magnesium loss should be supplemented daily using Marine Power Advanced Magnesium. Magnesium consumption depends on many factors, such as water temperature, lighting, a type of stocking aquarium and others, and its level requires regular checking. Therefore, MG supplementation must be constantly controlled and adjusted to the needs of aquarium. To determine the level of magnesium, we recommend Marine Power XACT Test Magnesium. Thanks to it, you can easily determine the current level of MG and its loss, eg during the week.

Determining the average daily loss of MG
If the aquarium mainly flush the calcification corals, the daily Mg consumption can be significant and may differ every day, which is why we recommend calculating the average daily loss of MG. To do this, two magnesium level measurements should be made at a distance of 4-5 days. It is important to make both measurements more or less at the same time of the day and to change the water (if performed every week) has been made at least 24 hours from both measurements. Thanks to this, it will not significantly affect the result. In a properly functioning aquarium, the first result of MG should be higher than the other. Then we subtract the second result from the first, and the obtained value is divided by the number of days (minus 1), in the intervals we made measurements.

Example:
Day 1: Mg = 1340 mg / l
Day 5: Mg = 1300 mg / l
Fall Mg = 1340 - 1300 = 40/4 days = 10 mg / L a day
The result means if you need to increase the daily MG supplementation. If the result obtained is equal to 0, MG supplementation is not required.
It should be remembered that magnesium consumption will grow along with the growth of corals and other invertebrates in the aquarium. That is why this process should be repeated every few weeks.

Preparation of the preparation and dosage

Marine Power Advanced Magnesium is ideal for use in popular supplementation programs.
Preparation of 1 L of the preparation:
1. Use the kitchen balance weigh 610 g of the preparation.
2. A 400 ml of Rodi water at room temperature (20 ° C) poured into a vealic scale vessel.
3. Put 610 g of Marine Power Advanced Magnesium for water vessel previously weighed, and then stirther to completely dissolve crystals.
4. Complement the vessel with water Rodi to 1 L (1000 ml).

Each 10 ml of this solution increases the magnesium level by about 7.3 mg in 100 l of water in the aquarium.

Due to the potential stress for the corals and other residents of the aquarium, the MG should not exceed 80 mg / l.
NOTE: Both excess and magnesium deficiency can be harmful to marine invertebrates, therefore you should regularly control the level of magnesium in the aquarium.
