I don’t think your mag is that high at all, maybe try to lower your phosphate and increase your Alk, to see if the mag levels out a bit more.

Are your corals having a negative reaction as of late?... I would start by checking your RODI water and making sure your TDS reading is 000

I was told esv but do not add the magnesium but still not sure still have the dinos problem 2

I had the same issue for the first few months when i did a facelift and went mostly sps. At first my mag was real low, so I started dosing mag. Then after a few months the mag stayed 1500+ and for the most part it stays around there. I stopped dosing mag ofcourse. I use fritz rpm and some esv. They say if u dose esv equally the mag should stay high naturally. I run 8.4 all and phosphates at .03.
