Aquaforest Magnesium Test Kit
Accurate Magnesium Testing for Marine & Reef Aquariums
Keep magnesium levels under control with the Aquaforest TestPro Magnesium Test Kit, designed to quickly and accurately measure the concentration of magnesium (Mg) in marine aquarium water.
Magnesium is an important element in reef aquariums and plays a role in several biological and chemical processes. It contributes to the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons in hard corals and influences the buffering capacity of seawater. Maintaining an appropriate magnesium level also helps prevent excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate on aquarium equipment.
Because magnesium has a close relationship with calcium and alkalinity, regular testing is an important part of maintaining balanced reef aquarium water chemistry.
The Aquaforest TestPro Magnesium kit contains sufficient reagents to perform approximately 55–60 individual tests within the natural seawater magnesium range.

Benefits
Monitor Magnesium Levels
Regular magnesium testing helps you identify changes in magnesium concentration and maintain more consistent aquarium water parameters.
Supports Calcium & Alkalinity Balance
Magnesium is closely connected to calcium and alkalinity in reef aquariums. Maintaining an appropriate magnesium level helps support a balanced marine environment.
Supports Coral Development
Magnesium contributes to biological processes involved in the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons in hard corals, making it an important parameter to monitor in reef systems.
Helps Manage Calcium Carbonate Precipitation
Due to its chemical properties, magnesium influences seawater chemistry and helps prevent excessive calcium carbonate precipitation on aquarium equipment.
Plenty of Tests for Regular Monitoring
With approximately 55–60 tests included, the kit is designed for ongoing water-quality monitoring rather than occasional testing.
Recommended Magnesium Level
The magnesium concentration of natural seawater is approximately:
1260–1460 mg/L (ppm)
For reef aquariums, magnesium should be tested regularly alongside other critical parameters, particularly calcium and alkalinity.
How to Use
- Collect a sample of aquarium water using the supplied test vial.
