Royal Nature Magnesium Professional Test

Test instructions - only 2 steps

Each kit contains 50 tests.

We recommend performing the calcium test first.
1. Add 2 ml of Mg-1 into the test tube using the 2.5 ml syringe.
2. Add 0.15 ml of Mg-2 powder into the test cuvette and swirl it.
- The solution should take on this color.

Firmly attach the metal needle of the 1 ml syringe and draw up the aquarium water until the bottom of the syringe's black rubber tip is exactly at the 1.00 ml mark. Before performing this step, make sure the needle is free of liquid and remains submerged in water at all times to prevent air from entering the syringe.
- The presence of an air layer between the liquid and the black part of the syringe is normal and does not affect the result. (The normal air layer you should see corresponds to 0.1 ml.)
4. Add aquarium water drop by drop into the test tube and swirl it slightly after each drop until the solution has this color.

Caution: Before using the test cuvette, make sure that it has been washed only with RO water and dried with a soft paper towel.
- If the solution in the test cuvette does not reach this color and you have used up all the aquarium water in the syringe, return to step 3 (this means that the magnesium concentration is below 970 ppm).
- If the color does not change after the second addition of 1.00 ml of water, it means that the magnesium concentration is below 360 ppm.

A faster test can be performed without the metal needle, with an error rate of 2%.
Note the position of the lower black part of the syringe (each division corresponds to 0.01 ml) and obtain the magnesium concentration from Table 1. The reading should be taken at the position of the lower end of the black rubber of the syringe.
- If you need to return to step 3 a second time, use Table 2 to determine the magnesium concentration.
Normal magnesium concentrations are between 1280 and 1540 ppm (depending on salinity).

The result is accurate if the calcium concentration is between 350-450 ppm. If the calcium concentration is outside this range, you can correct the result using this table:

NSW magnesium is 1350. We recommend maintaining the magnesium concentration in the aquarium between 1290-1450 ppm. For low magnesium levels, use Royal Magnesium Chloride in powder or liquid form to maintain the parameters between 1290-1450 ppm.

The volume of salt water that can be produced from a single bucket of 23 kg of Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt depends on the required SG or PPT of the final solution. To achieve a specific gravity of -1.0264 = 35.5 PPT, we recommend mixing 1 kg of Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt with 26 liters of RO water using a recirculation pump.

The resulting salt water is ready for use when the salt is completely dissolved, which should take about 30 minutes. Best results are achieved at a temperature of 24-25°C (74-76°F). Check the salinity with a reliable and calibrated refractometer and add salt or water to achieve the correct level. We recommend monitoring the water parameters before adding the water to the tank.

A weekly partial water change of 10-12% with Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt ensures the balance of all macro and microelements with their natural values.

Caution! When replacing synthetic salt with Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt, please ensure that the first water change does not exceed 3-4%, the second change 5-6%, and the third change 8-10%. Regular water changes should not exceed 25% at a time.
