Bump. Still can't work this out. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I recently switched over from the AL30 to the AL60. It didn't come with instructions, but it probably wouldn't have made a difference. Previously I could set my AL30 have a set temp of 27 but not start chilling until it reached 28. With my new AL60 I have it set to 26 but it doesn't start chilling until 29, which is too much a temperature difference. Does anyone know how to set this to 1 degree difference?

To be honest my Magnesium was never terrible when you look at acceptable range, though it did drop below acceptable range from time to time. My calcium is quite high so i'd rather have the Mg on the higher end of the scale. The aquaforest was not able to do that. Aquaforest is $15 a bottle vs Kent's Mg at $25 a bottle. However there is more than double the volume in the Kent bottle. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

So I found the problem. Once I started dosing with Kent Marine Magnesium my Mg started to climb. I've nearly finished the bottle of aquaforest and it barley made any impact at all. It's likely as well that the Magnesium isn't very high in the salt I'm using as well. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I have the SW-2 in the IM10 and it doesn't blow the sand around. The key I found was to aim it up at the water surface slightly. Obviously not so it's jetting water out of the tank but enough to take the power out of the flow. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Ok so maybe not beginner corals. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Thanks for your replies. I'm using the Aqua Forest Mg Plus solution and I use the Red Sea coral pro salt. The corals I have now are: torch coral, BBEB Zoa's, micromussa, goniopora. All corals happy, healthy and full extended. The Goniopora even had a little 'baby'. I guess I'm just bothered that i can't get it above 1300. Thanks for your help.

Hi Fellow Reefers Over the past month I have been monitoring my magnesium as have moved from a FOWLR set up to some beginner corals. I cannot get it to get above and stay at 1300, it is always between 1200-1300. I have been dosing repeatedly, there has been several water changes in this time frame but still it won't budge. Additionally my Calcium is very high, >500 and has not dropped lower than that. dKH seems ok at 8-10. My tank is a IM 10g. What is the problem? What issues could this cause my lps? Is there a way of fixing because 25% water changes weekly have not done anything. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Most days my Goniopora looks like this: Then one day, without notice, it looked like this: I tried talking to it. Nothing. I tried leaving it alone. Nothing. I brought it chocolates. Nothing. It spent the whole day in that condition! Next day it looks like this: Happy as a, errrr, clam! And has remain that way since. Does anyone have a more logical or scientific explanation for its behaviour? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Sometimes it's also due to too much current. If he's moving he's not comfortable. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I don't think it's ever going to be as safe as the factory cable. Personally I don't mess with 240V and water. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
