You made that test kit yourself? Very creative :bow::bow::bow: But I will suggest getting a more reliable test apparatus for your Sg... a refractometer perhaps :)

Magnesium is a tad low... try to raise it to at least 1300 :nc:

Emm... I think it's better to add the Magnesium to your sump in high flow area... you might upset the ionic balance by adding a large amount of Magnesium (relative) into a well-balanced salt mix.

It depends on the brand I guess... my Grotech Magnesium Instant instruct me to dose directly into a high flow sump instead of dripping. Just follow the intructions on the label.

As for the local lettuce... I've stopped and rely on seaweed instead. I notice my FoxFace pooed pieces of lettuce... undigested... :cry:
