I have a newly re-set up 125gal with 40gal sump and fuge, nothing in the fuge yet except 5in of new oolic sand.
160 lb live rock
4 in new oolic sand in tank
5 in. in fuge
very light load
2-60 in actinic white vho
2-60 in. blue vho all 4 fairley new
running about 7hrs a day due to an algae problem
moon light
waiting on skimmer, backordered
very light animal load
ro/di water
instant ocean salt
ph=8.0
temp=76.2
amonia=0
nitrite=0
nitrate=2.5 and droping
dKH=9.0
alkalinity=3.20
calcium=500
salt=1.024
phosphate=0

I 've been trying to raise the magnesium with 150ml of Reef Pure balanced magnesium each day for the last 5 days it has come up to 1140 and is now back to 1080, where it started. No water changes in the last 2 weeks. Plan to do 30gal change on Fri.. Can some one tell me what might be going on, How to fix it or is it not a problem?
