Hmm..you using the bicarbonate of soda to raise kH? The brand has another product called baking powder. Looks similar but contains sodium acid pyrophosphate and starch. Hmm..might want to check with them if the bicarbonate of soda is 100% pure sodium bicarbonate. Could be due to this that's why you need to dose magnesium. Products like seachem's Reef Builder have the proportionate amount of magnesium carbonates in their calcium carbonate & bicarbonate mixes. A little more expensive..but could solve your separate magnesium dosing altogether. ;)

Always something more important than fish.
