Besides calcium and strontium, some coral and coralline red algae also store magnesium in their skeleton. It is biochemically directly involved in the photosynthesis of algae, i.e. the conversion of carbon dioxide and light into organic compounds. Magnesium is therefore one of the most important minerals of seawater.
Tropic Marin® Bio-Magnesium provides magnesium and carbon dioxide in a biologically optimally usable form, preventing magnesium deficiency in seawater and restoring the natural concentration ratio of the alkaline earth metals. These are basic requirements for a healthy coral reef in the aquarium.

Exact dosing and easy application
Instructions:
The natural concentration of Magnesium is 1280-1300 ppm. Calculate the total system water volume and begin by measuring the magnesium concentration of your aquarium water. One level measuring spoon increases the magnesium level of 30 US-gallons / 110 l of tank water by about 10 ppm. The recommended maximum dose is 2 measuring spoons per 30 US-gallons / 110 l of aquarium water per day!
Sprinkle one measuring spoon full of Tropic Marin Bio-Magnesium onto the surface of the water, where it is being circulated by your pump. Take care not to allow a larger amount of undissolved Bio-Magnesium to come into contact with invertebrates. Wait for each spoonful to dissolve completely before adding the next.
Check the aquarium waters specific gravity on a regular basis as this may gradually increase over time with the addition of Tropic Marin Bio-Magnesium. This is easily counteracted with regular water changes. An excessively high magnesium concentration may have a negative effect on certain organisms. For this reason, it is not recommended to exceed magnesium concentrations over 1600 ppm.
