Like calcium and strontium, magnesium is used in the calcification of skeletons of reef organisms. In many cases, magnesium is used instead of calcium for calcification. In addition to its role in calcification, magnesium is also used by organisms ranging from bacteria to coral algae and fish.

How do you know for sure that magnesium levels fall short? There are a few clues; Highly depleted magnesium levels (below 800 mg / L) can cause a lowered pH value and an inability to maintain proper calcium levels (more with ionic imbalance). The best way to determine if you need a magnesium supplement is to test for it using a magnesium test kit such as Seachem's Reef Status®: Magnesium & Carbonate and Borate Alkalinity.

If you have determined that your magnesium levels are low, supplementation with ions ™ is necessary. ions ™ restores magnesium by using the most concentrated (90,000 mg / L), fully dissolved magnesium and does this without adding ammonia. Other liquid magnesium supplements inherently contain ammonia because the magnesium chloride used in their production contains ammonia. This is a result of the mechanisms for the derivation and / or production of magnesium chloride. aquavitro has made considerable efforts to remove this contamination and a patented process makes ions ™ the first and only liquid magnesium supplement that does not contain ammonia.

The use of completely dissolved magnesium is crucial. Some magnesium supplements use a magnesium source that is simply not soluble, that is, is not available. This means that it can never be used by reef organisms and therefore has no value. If the product itself is milky white or if the instructions encourage the user to shake well, a significant amount of magnesium is probably not used (the same applies to calcium products). ions ™ also includes strontium and boron in the NSW ratio of 1.7: 1 to prevent ionic imbalance with prolonged use.
