Royal Magnesium Professional Test

Test instructions – just 2 steps

With each kit you receive 50 tests.

We recommend doing the calcium test first.
1. Add 2 ml Mg-1 to the test tube using the 2,5 ml syringe.
2. Add 0,15 ml Mg-2 powder to the test cell and swirl.
 – The solution should turn this color.      

Firmly attach the metal needle of the 1 ml syringe and draw up the aquarium water until the bottom of the black rubber of the syringe is exactly at the 1,00 ml mark. Before this step, make sure that the needle does not contain any liquid and is submerged in water at all times to prevent air from entering the syringe.
 – The presence of a layer of air between the liquid and the black part of the syringe is normal and does not affect the result. (The normal air layer you should see is 0,1ml.)
4. Add aquarium water drop by drop to the test tube and swirl a little after each drop until the solution is this color.      

Attention: Before using the test cell, make sure it has been washed with RO water only and dried with a soft paper.
– If the solution in the test cell does not reach this color and you have used all of the aquarium water in the syringe, return to step 3 (this means the magnesium concentration is below 970 ppm).
– If the color does not change after the second addition of 1,00 ml of water, it means that the magnesium concentration is below 360 ppm.

A faster test can be performed without the metal needle, with an error rate of 2%.
Note the position of the lower black part of the syringe (each division corresponds to 0,01 ml) and obtain the magnesium concentration from Table 1. The reading should be at the position of the lower end of the black rubber of the syringe.
– If you need to return to Step 3 a second time, use Table 2 to determine the magnesium concentration.
Normal magnesium concentrations are between 1280 and 1540 ppm (depending on salinity).

The result is accurate when the calcium concentration is between 350-450 ppm. If the calcium concentration is not in this range, you can correct the result using this table:

NSW Magnesium is 1350. We recommend that the magnesium concentration in the aquarium be between: 1290-1450 PPM. For low magnesium levels, use Royal Magnesium Chloride in powder or liquid form to maintain parameters between: 1290-1450 PPM.

The volume of salt water that can be produced from a single bucket of 23kg Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt depends on the required SG or PPT of the final solution. To achieve a specific gravity of -1,0264 = 35,5 PPT, we recommend mixing 1kg of Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt with 26 liters of RO water using a circulation pump.

The resulting salt water is ready to use when the salt is completely dissolved, which should take about 30 minutes. Best results are achieved at a temperature of 24-25°C (74-76°F). Check the salinity with a reliable and calibrated refractometer and add salt or water to achieve the correct value. We recommend monitoring the water parameters before adding the water to the pool.

A weekly partial water change of 10-12% with Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro salt ensures the balance of all macro and micro elements with their natural values.

Danger! When replacing a synthetic salt with Royal Nature Ion Balanced Pro Salt, please ensure that the first water change is no more than 3-4%, the second WC of 5-6%, the third WC of 8-10%. Regular toilet – no more than 25% at a time.
