Is magnesium important for LPS?

Is magnesium important for LPS?

The study found that LPS activation of the expression of many pro-inflammatory factors is exacerbated in the presence of low magnesium concentration whilst a high magnesium concentration partly inhibited the inflammatory response to LPS.

What does magnesium do for reef?

Magnesium helps maintain calcium and alkalinity levels in a reef tank. If levels are too low, calcium will combine with alkalinity to create calcium carbonate in the water column. This creates a “snow” that can stick to pumps, impellers and heaters instead of being used by corals to build their skeletons.

Do soft corals need magnesium?

The aquarist keeping live rock, a mix of soft corals and maybe a few stony corals will have a higher magnesium demand than a fish-only tank. Maintaining magnesium levels in this type of set-up will usually need a general all-around supplement in addition to water changes.

What happens if magnesium is high in reef tank?

There is a lot to learn about the magnesium in your tank, but the most important thing is to try and keep your magnesium levels between 1250 and 1350 ppm. Somewhat higher levels do not tend to cause issues, but low magnesium levels could cause coral bleaching and tissue loss, among other things.
