Salifert Magnesium - liquid

Corrects the magnesium concentration and the ion balance. Too low a magnesium concentration makes maintaining the alkaline and calcium levels difficult. Contains mixed magnesium salts.

Why is magnesium needed?

Magnesium is present in natural seawater in a fairly high concentration (1300 - 1400 mg / L). Magnesium is an essential part of the chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, algae and therefore the corals that we keep in our aquariums would not survive.

Magnesium also has another important function because magnesium makes it possible to maintain the correct ratio of calcium concentration and carbonate hardness. Maintaining a correct magnesium concentration is therefore of great importance and is indirectly responsible for rapid coral and lime algae growth.

Magnesium is depleted by the growth of coral / algae and also by the use of excessive amounts of lime water or by unnaturally high calcium, KH and pH values.

About liquid magnesium

This supplement is highly concentrated. Each liter contains approximately 25000 mg of magnesium.
To avoid an ionic imbalance, this product contains magnesium ions in a good balance with other ions such as sulfate, chloride, bromide, sodium and calcium.
All ingredients are of pharmaceutical quality or even better. This ensures that no unwanted elements are added to your valuable aquarium.

This supplement is intended to be used on a regular maintenance basis. If the magnesium concentration is considerably lower than 1300 mg / L, we recommend that you first use Seachem Reef Advantage Magnesium to increase the magnesium content.
