Through the chemical process known as "ion-pairing", magnesium ion
concentration influences the saturation point for calcium corbonate in solution. In
general, the further the magnesium concentration drops from natural seawater levels
(1350 ppm), the more difficult it becomes to maintain adequate levels of both
calcium and alkalinity. Magnesium also plays an important role in stabilizing pH by
interacting with the buffer system of seawater.
B-Ionic Magnesium is an easy to use one component liquid supplement which, when used
with B-Ionic Calcium Buffer or kalkwasser, will not disrupt the ionic balance of closed marine
aquaria. B-Ionic Magnesium contains 36,000 ppm magnesium, and 1.5 mL will raise one gallon
of aquarium water by 15 ppm.
