Yes, magnesium is needed to maintain calc levels. Without it, calc levels will just free fall.

Depends, I dose 2dkh and 15ppm cal a day and my monthly water changes are enough to keep my mag at ~1350. So test for it and see how much is being used.

usually dont test or dose for magnesium unless something is wacky with cal. like adding calcium but unable to increase the number

I just dose kalk. My mag is kept up by water changes but my salt has high mag.
