Where to buy a good magnesium test kit.

I have been battling some bryopsis. I am wanting to raise my magnesium to help battle this. I have reduced the feeding of my tank and increased the water changes and it is still thriving. I am about to add a sump to my tank with chaeto. What is a good magnesium test kit and where can I buy it?

Salifert make a good mag test kit. You can pick it up at the local fish store.

Do an internet search for a Red Sea test kit. It works well, and is one of the least expensive ones.
Good Luck,
Bassking

I use a Red Sea kit with no complaints, I'll try a Salifert next time around.

The same one I used. Also magnesium alone is not what kills off the byroposis. You must use tech m. Two weeks dosing and I was byroposis free. Its been about two months now and I havent seen any return.

Tech M is exactly what I am going to get. Glad to hear you had good results.
