Aquaforest Magnesium test

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

Magnesium plays a vital role in various biological processes. For instance, it is involved in the formation of hard coral’s calcium carbonate skeleton. Due to its unique chemical properties, it has a significant impact on the buffering capacity of seawater and helps to prevent excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate on aquarium equipment.

Maintaining an adequate level of Magnesium is essential for keeping the proper balance of Calcium and Alkalinity in reef aquaria. It is important to analyze Mg levels regularly, alongside other critical water parameters such as Calcium and Alkalinity.

The concentration of Magnesium in natural seawater typically ranges from 1260 to 1500 mg/l (ppm). Our Test Kit comes with enough reagents to conduct approximately 55 to 60 separate tests within that range.
