    Not magnesium, manganese. It's the iron you want out of the Kent's product, the manganese I don't know what that does

    Should not need any test kit. It's hard to OD on iron, there's some old thread on here I remember where Santa dosed something like a half gallon into a 90g tank.

    That's crazy I would figure you could over dose any supplement in a reef. Well I was wanting to order a neptunes doser anyway. I will let you know when I get it setup.

    Not saying you can't overdose. But iron gets sucked up pretty quickly. I think Santa's test did some damage to the tank which I think was kind of a test so I wouldn't do that but you can dose a LOT and be pretty safe.

    Algae uses mostly Iron. Lots of nori would do it too. But you'll not be able to test for it.

    Old light on the left and new light on the right. The picture doesn't show it well but the old light algae looks really dark green.

    Also can you push too much air within the scrubber?
