Oh and one more thing, a higher mag level will help inhibit coraline algae growth... some people find this a good thing since coraline intakes calcium at something like 3x what a coral can.... so the more you have to dose

Thanks

I talked to a LFS tonight.  They told me that Mag wasn't mentioned, because it is the most expensive test, and they hadn't tested for it.

I wouldn't sweat it. There is no reason to test for it because in your brand new tank the Mg will be at about whatever level the salt mix delivers. Smile

I agree with Mark. Once your tank has been running for a month or two I'd recommend getting a Mg test, then just keep your level at about 1300 and you'll be all set.
