Aquaforest Magnesium 4000g

Aquaforest Magnesium 4000g is a high-quality dry magnesium supplement designed to raise and maintain magnesium levels in marine and reef aquariums. Based on magnesium chloride hexahydrate, this professional reef supplement helps stabilise magnesium, supports proper coral development and plays an important role in maintaining the balance between calcium, carbonate hardness and pH.

Ideal for reef aquariums, SPS systems, LPS coral tanks and mixed marine aquariums, Aquaforest Magnesium can be used for regular magnesium supplementation, controlled magnesium correction or as part of a Balling method dosing system. The large 4000g pack size is perfect for reef keepers who prepare their own dosing solutions and need a cost-effective magnesium source for ongoing aquarium maintenance.

Key Features

  • Dry magnesium supplement for marine aquariums
  • Large 4000g pack size
  • Helps raise and maintain magnesium levels
  • Supports proper coral development
  • Helps stabilise calcium and pH balance
  • Ideal for SPS, LPS and mixed reef aquariums
  • Suitable for Balling method dosing
  • Can be used for regular dosing or controlled magnesium correction
  • Dissolves in RO/DI water to create a magnesium solution
  • Contains magnesium chloride hexahydrate

Product Overview

Aquaforest Magnesium has been developed for marine aquarists who need reliable magnesium supplementation in reef aquariums. Magnesium is one of the major elements in seawater and plays an important role in stabilising calcium and carbonate hardness. If magnesium levels fall too low, it can become difficult to maintain stable calcium levels and pH.

In reef aquariums, magnesium is gradually consumed by corals, coralline algae and other marine organisms. It can also decline over time through water changes, precipitation and biological uptake. Aquaforest Magnesium provides a concentrated dry supplement that can be mixed into a dosing solution and used to maintain stable reef chemistry.

Benefits for Reef Aquariums

Aquaforest Magnesium helps support coral health by maintaining one of the key elements involved in reef aquarium stability. Magnesium supports proper coral development and helps keep calcium and carbonate hardness in balance, which is essential for coral skeleton formation and long-term reef health.

Stable magnesium levels can also help prevent problems where calcium becomes difficult to maintain. In coral-heavy aquariums, maintaining magnesium alongside calcium and KH is essential for consistent growth, healthy calcification and stable marine water chemistry.

Suitable For

Aquaforest Magnesium 4000g is suitable for:

  • Marine aquariums
  • Reef aquariums
  • SPS coral systems
  • LPS coral systems
  • Mixed reef aquariums
  • Coralline algae growth support
  • Balling method dosing
  • Automatic dosing pump systems
  • Aquarists preparing their own magnesium solutions
  • Larger reef aquariums with regular magnesium demand

This product is designed for marine aquarium use and should be dosed according to test results and actual aquarium consumption.

How It Works

Aquaforest Magnesium contains magnesium chloride hexahydrate, which provides magnesium ions for marine aquarium water. Once dissolved and dosed correctly, it replenishes magnesium used by corals and other reef organisms.

Magnesium works closely with calcium and carbonate hardness. By helping stabilise this relationship, Aquaforest Magnesium supports more consistent reef parameters and helps create better conditions for coral growth and calcification.

How to Prepare

Dissolve 10g of Aquaforest Magnesium in 1000ml of RO/DI water to prepare a magnesium dosing solution.

Mix thoroughly until fully dissolved before use. Use clean measuring equipment and a clean dosing container. Label the prepared solution clearly and store it safely away from children, pets and direct sunlight.

Aquaforest guidance also states that Magnesium and Calcium or Reef Mineral Salt can be combined together into one solution where appropriate.

How to Use

Test the aquarium’s magnesium level before dosing.

Dose the prepared magnesium solution according to aquarium demand and test results. Add slowly to a high-flow area of the aquarium or sump. If using an automatic dosing pump, spread the daily dose across several smaller additions to help maintain stability.

Aquaforest Magnesium can also be used occasionally to raise magnesium levels, but any correction should be made gradually.

Dosing Advice

A prepared solution made from 10g Aquaforest Magnesium in 1000ml RO/DI water raises magnesium by approximately 1.2mg/l when 100ml is dosed into 100 litres of aquarium water.

Do not raise magnesium by more than 50ppm per day. Fast magnesium changes can stress corals and destabilise reef chemistry.

Dose should always be determined by water test results and the aquarium’s daily consumption.

Recommended Magnesium Level

Aquaforest recommends maintaining magnesium in reef aquariums at approximately 1180–1460mg/l.

Stability is more important than chasing a single exact number. Test magnesium regularly and adjust dosing according to the aquarium’s actual consumption, coral stock level and salt mix parameters.

When to Use

Aquaforest Magnesium 4000g is useful when:

  • Magnesium levels are lower than desired
  • Calcium is difficult to maintain
  • pH appears less stable than expected
  • Corals are actively growing and consuming minerals
  • A reef aquarium requires Balling method dosing
  • SPS or LPS corals need stable mineral support
  • Magnesium levels drop between water changes
  • A dosing pump is being used for reef supplementation
  • A larger reef system needs a cost-effective magnesium supplement
  • Ionic balance needs support alongside calcium and KH dosing

Reef Stability Advice

Magnesium should always be managed alongside calcium and KH.

If calcium or alkalinity is difficult to stabilise, test magnesium before increasing calcium or KH dosing. Low magnesium can make it harder to maintain proper calcium balance and may contribute to unstable reef chemistry.

To maintain ionic balance when using Aquaforest Magnesium as part of the Balling method, use it alongside Aquaforest Calcium, KH Buffer and Reef Mineral Salt as required.

Compatibility Advice

Do not mix dry Aquaforest Magnesium directly with KH Buffer or other dry supplements in the same container unless following a specific preparation method.

Prepared magnesium solutions should be kept separate from KH solutions to avoid precipitation or unwanted chemical reactions. Dose each solution separately into a high-flow area and allow it to disperse before adding another supplement.

For Balling method systems, use separate clearly labelled dosing containers and dosing lines.

Safety Advice

Aquaforest Magnesium contains magnesium chloride hexahydrate and should be handled carefully.

Avoid contact with eyes and avoid inhaling dust. Wear eye protection where appropriate and wash hands after use. Keep out of reach of children. This product is intended for aquarium use only and should not be consumed.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid allowing the dry powder to become damp, as moisture may cause clumping and reduce ease of use.
