The Salifert Magnesium Test Kit is designed to determine the magnesium content in seawater exactly and easily. Maintaining the correct magnesium level is vital, as a concentration that is too low makes maintaining correct calcium and alkalinity levels difficult. This kit ensures your reef environment remains stable and healthy.
Natural seawater has a magnesium concentration of approximately 1300–1500 mg/L. This kit allows you to monitor those levels with professional precision.
Accurate Increments: Measures in sufficient, accurate steps of 30 mg/L.
Clear Results: Features a sharp color change for easy reading.
No Interference: Results are not affected by strontium or calcium when their total concentration is between 200 and 650 ppm.
Capacity: Each kit provides up to 50 tests.
Application: For marine water use only.
Why is magnesium important for my reef tank? Magnesium is essential for balancing calcium and alkalinity; if it drops too low, it becomes very difficult to keep those other critical parameters stable.
Will calcium or strontium affect my test results? No, this kit is designed so that calcium and strontium do not interfere with the readings, provided their total concentration stays within the typical range of 200–650 ppm.
How easy is the test to read? The test is very straightforward and utilizes a sharp color change to indicate your final measurement in 30 mg/L steps.
Salifert Calcium Profi Test Kit: Since magnesium and calcium are biologically linked, it is highly recommended to monitor both simultaneously.
Magnesium Supplements: Use high-purity magnesium additives to raise levels if your test shows a concentration below 1300 mg/L.
