Fritz Pro Aquatics Magnesium Chloride

Fritz ProAquatics Magnesium chloride is a high quality concentrated magnesium salt that is designed to replenish magnesium in captive reef systems. Monitoring and maintaining proper magnesium levels is an important part of stabilizing water chemistry values, resulting in better coral, coralline algae and invertebrate growth and health. Being the third most abundant ion behind sodium and chloride in natural seawater, Magnesium is an important ion for reef aquarists to understand and monitor. Magnesium is an important part in many biological processes and is an essential part of calcification. In addition to its many biological functions, Magnesium helps to stabilize the correct combination of calcium, alkalinity and pH values.  Severely low magnesium levels can cause low pH values and the inability to maintain proper alkalinity and calcium values.  Magnesium also serves to prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate from aquarium water. The recommended level of magnesium in
