Magnesium maximum

[Dingo Dog]

What is considered too high for Mg and what problems occur when Mg is too high?
Thanks in advance.

(edit) This range is suggested: 1250 - 1350

Aklthough a higher limit were trouble starts has not been determined, 2000 ppm have been seen without serious trouble. Consistent levels of 1500 to 1600 ppm seem to be useful in killing Bryopsis.

Jdieck, thanks to you as well. I don't feel so bad now that mine tested around 1600 yesterday.
