ASKOLL MAGNESIUM TEST – Titration Kit for Measuring Magnesium in Marine Aquariums
ASKOLL MAGNESIUM TEST is a high-precision titration kit designed to measure magnesium concentration in marine aquariums. Magnesium is the third most abundant element in seawater, after sodium and chloride, with an ideal concentration of approximately 1200 mg/L. Essential for coral and coralline algae calcification, magnesium also plays a critical role in many physiological and biochemical processes.
Maintaining the correct magnesium-to-calcium ratio (ideally 3:1) ensures balanced skeletal development in reef organisms and prevents calcium precipitation.
Kit contents:
• 1 bottle of Mg1 reagent (10 ml)
• 1 bottle of Mg2 reagent (10 ml)
• 1 bottle of Mg3 reagent (50 ml)
• Graduated syringe with nozzle
• Test vial and instruction leaflet
Why test for magnesium: Magnesium supports coral growth, maintains calcium stability, and prevents carbonate precipitation. A well-balanced magnesium level is key to overall reef health and water chemistry stability.
How to perform the test:
Rinse the vial with sample water
Fill with 2 ml of aquarium water
Add 5 drops of Mg1 reagent and shake for 20 seconds
Add 5 drops of Mg2 reagent and shake – the solution will turn red-violet
Use the syringe to add Mg3 reagent drop by drop until the color changes from red-violet to blue
Multiply the volume used (in ml) by 1500 to determine magnesium concentration in mg/L
Example: 0.90 ml x 1500 = 1350 mg/L magnesium
Why choose ASKOLL MAGNESIUM TEST:
Reliable and user-friendly, this test is ideal for reef aquarists seeking precise control over water parameters. It helps ensure optimal coral health and ion balance, making it a must-have for advanced marine aquarium maintenance.
