Highly concentrated solution for adding magnesium if there are deficits in the aquarium.
Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal essential for the metabolism and skeletal growth of red lime algae especially. It forms ion pairs with carbonate ions, thereby increasing the solubility of calcium carbonate in seawater. The ratio of magnesium to calcium should be around 3.1 : 1. Some corals and red lime algae store magnesium as well as calcium and strontium in their skeleton. Biochemically, it is directly associated with the photosynthesis of algae, the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and light into organic compounds. This makes magnesium one of the most important minerals in seawater. It is found In the sea, in concentration levels of 1,200-1,350 mg/l (ppm).
