Description
Magnesium+ with Trace is a carefully formulated solution designed to safely raise magnesium levels in your reef tank while providing essential trace elements that support overall coral and invertebrate health. It works best when used in combination with Alkalinity+ with Trace and Calcium+ with Trace, together delivering 18 different trace elements to create a balanced and thriving reef environment.
When added, 20 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) will increase magnesium by approximately 10 ppm. Maintaining stable magnesium levels between 1300–1400 ppm helps corals build strong skeletons, supports healthy reef chemistry, and promotes vibrant coloration.
Dosing Guidelines
- Standard Dose: 20 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) → increases magnesium by ~10 ppm
- Recommended Increase: Raise levels gradually at a rate of ~50 ppm per day until desired magnesium levels are reached
- Maintenance Dose: Once desired levels are achieved, reduce to a lower maintenance dose
- Combination Use: Works best alongside Alkalinity+ with Trace and Calcium+ with Trace for full trace element support
Application Tips
- Dose into your sump or a high-flow area for even distribution
- Avoid concentrated direct dosing into the display tank to prevent irritation to livestock
- Automated dosing systems provide safe, consistent magnesium increases
- Regular testing ensures your magnesium and trace element levels stay within optimal ranges
Benefits of Stable Magnesium Levels
- Supports strong skeletal growth in corals and invertebrates
- Maintains balanced calcium and alkalinity levels for reef stability
- Promotes vibrant coral coloration and overall coral health
- Reduces stress caused by sudden fluctuations in magnesium or other minerals
Community Benefits
Using Magnesium+ with Trace in combination with Alkalinity+ with Trace and Calcium+ with Trace provides your reef tank with 18 essential trace elements, helping to foster a resilient and visually stunning reef community. Healthy corals, stable microfauna, and thriving fish populations are supported by maintaining balanced magnesium and mineral levels.
Safety & Handling

- Keep out of reach of children
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; wear gloves and eye protection
- In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice if irritation persists
- Contains trace elements; handle with care
Best Used When
- Your tank magnesium levels are below 1300 ppm
- You want to maintain stable mineral levels for optimal coral growth
- Complementing Alkalinity + with Trace and Calcium + with Trace for full trace element support

Calculation Results
Calculation Algorithm
Solution strength is defined in the schema as ppm increase per 1 mL per 100 L.
mL required = (Target ppm - Current ppm) × Volume(L) ÷ (Solution strength × 100)
Dosing is split to avoid raising magnesium by more than 100 ppm per dose.
Alkalinity+
Alkalinity+ is a vital reef supplement that stabilizes pH and supports strong coral skeleton formation by replenishing carbonate hardness (dKH) in your aquarium. Enriched with key trace elements, it promotes balanced water chemistry, enhances coral growth, and helps prevent sudden swings that can stress reef inhabitants. Consistent dosing of Alkalinity+ provides the foundation your reef needs for long-term stability and vibrant health.
Calcium+
Calcium+ is a premium reef supplement designed to maintain strong coral growth and vibrant skeletal development by replenishing essential calcium levels in your aquarium. Enriched with carefully balanced trace elements, it not only supports healthy stony coral and clam growth but also helps maintain overall reef stability. Regular dosing of Calcium+ ensures your reef inhabitants receive the vital building blocks they need for natural coloration, resilience, and long-term health.
