Salifert Magnesium Test Kit
The Salifert Magnesium Testing Kit is a high-precision aquarium water test designed to help reef keepers monitor magnesium levels — a critical parameter for maintaining coral health and optimal calcium and alkalinity balance. Magnesium plays a central role in marine aquariums by stabilizing calcium and carbonate ions, which supports strong coral skeletons, vibrant growth, and overall reef vitality.
This easy-to-use test kit delivers accurate, lab-grade results at home, empowering aquarists to make informed decisions and maintain stable water chemistry in saltwater and reef aquariums of all sizes.
Why Magnesium Matters in Your Reef Tank 🌟
Magnesium is one of the key elements in a reef aquarium:
-
Stabilizes Calcium & Alkalinity — Helps prevent calcium and alkalinity from dropping out of solution and forming unwanted precipitates.
-
Supports Coral Growth — Essential for successful coral calcification and polyp expansion.
-
Balances Water Chemistry — Plays a role in maintaining overall ionic balance within saltwater environments.
Maintaining the proper magnesium level helps prevent common reef issues, such as poor coral growth, erratic alkalinity, and cloudy or unstable water parameters.

Recommended Magnesium Levels 📏
For healthy reef systems, aim for a magnesium range of approximately 1250–1350 mg/L (ppm). Levels outside this range can destabilize calcium and alkalinity and impact coral growth over time.
Use this kit to test regularly — especially after water changes, dosing adjustments, or equipment maintenance — to ensure conditions remain consistent.
