Help with magnesium

[renato120]

I just checked my parameters and my magnesium is too high I think.
What can I do to lower it?
Mag: 1520
Ca: 480
Alk:10.5
Salinity: 1.025
I do a 10g water change weekly my total water volume is around 85 to 90g...
Everything is doing fine so far except of a zoa that is kind of weird shape now...
I did some research and they call it "umbrella mode" Something like that.
Not sure if the high MAG is causing that.

1520 is nothing to be too concerned about IMO. Just go about your normal routine and let the Magnesium fall on it's own naturally. GL.

Thank you! I will lower the CA/ALK a little bit. I think its too high

Your water quality is fine. Just leave it be and the tank will use it up on its own, no reason to do a water change or add/dose anything.

Thank you for the help! I will leave it alone

Yep, for past few years when I tested (with Red Sea and Salifert) for mag, it was well above recommended levels, even though I never add Mag supps and use IO (supposed to be low on mag) for water changes. No idea what's going on, but thanks for reminding me to test again to see if anything has changed.
