I need to do a treatment for bryopsis and need to read more than the Red Sea pro goes. How exactly do I do this??

The ratio of titrant used stay the same, so for every 0.1 mL of titrant you use you have onother 200ppm of magnesium. So if you use a full mL of titrant (1800 ppm) and then add another 0.1mL of titrant before you see the color change your magnesium is at 2000ppm (1800 + 200).
