Tropical Marine Power Easy Magnesium – 1000 Ml

The 1000 ml container of Tropical Marine Power Easy Magnesium is a top of the line additive for marine aquariums, but is designed specifically for smaller aquariums occupied primarily by soft corals. Along with chloride and sodium, magnesium is one of the three main components of seawater and supports the availability of calcium and strontium for calcification corals such as LPS and SPS corals, snails and mussels. Magnesium is also an important bio-element that helps many marine organisms with their metabolic processes. The level of magnesium in natural coral sea environments is approximately 1280-1320 mg/l. In the majority of marine aquariums, the level of magnesium should be maintained at a stable and similar range. Small deviations of 10-15% are not dangerous for the invertebrates in the aquarium but they can stress the corals and become even more problematic over time. Although magnesium is not the main component of the coral skeleton, its ions are often built into the composition of the skeleton and for some species of corals, magnesium accounts for over 3% of the skeletal structure. Magnesium consumption depends on many factors, such as: water temperature, lighting, type of stock in the aquarium and others, and its level requires regular checking.

Dosage

The dosage of MARINE POWER EASY MAGNESIUM depends on the daily magnesium consumption. One full cap of the liquid will increase the level of magnesium by about 20 mg/l in 100 l of water. Dosage for larger tanks is presented in the table.

The contents of the cap should be added into the aquarium near the circulating pump, so the liquid can be distributed effectively in the aquarium. In case of higher consumption of magnesium, we recommend our MARINE POWER ADVANCED MAGNESIUM product. Due to the potential stress to the inhabitants of the aquarium, the daily Mg increase should not exceed 80 mg/l. Note: Excess and deficiency of magnesium can be both harmful to marine invertebrates, so you should regularly check the magnesium level in the aquarium.
