Fritz Mag Flake (Magnesium Chloride) is a high-quality concentrated magnesium salt that is designed to replenish magnesium in captive reef systems. Monitoring and maintaining proper magnesium levels is an important part of stabilizing water chemistry values, resulting in better coral, coralline algae and invertebrate growth and health.
Magnesium is an important ion for reef aquarists to understand and monitor. In addition to its many biological functions, magnesium helps to stabilize the correct combination of calcium, alkalinity and pH values. The recommended level of magnesium in the aquarium is 1300 ppm to 1400 ppm. Severely low magnesium levels (900 mg/L or below) can cause low pH values and the inability to maintain proper alkalinity and calcium values. Magnesium also serves to prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate from aquarium water.
