Overview

• Aquaforest TestPro Magnesium is designed to quickly measure the concentration of Magnesium (Mg) in marine water.

• Magnesium plays an important role in many biological processes, e.g. takes part in the construction of hard coral’s calcium carbonate skeleton.

• Due to its unique chemical properties it has significant impact on seawater buffering capacity, and also prevents excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate on aquarium equipment.

• Adequate level of Magnesium is crucial in maintaining proper Calcium and Alkalinity balance in reef aquaria.

• Mg levels should be analysed regularly, together with other critical water parameters like Calcium and Alkalinity.

• The concentration of Magnesium in natural seawater is between 1260-1460 mg/l (ppm). Test Kit contains sufficient reagents to perform approx. 55-60 separate tests within that range.
