I'm dosing esv 2 part and I have my daily dosage for that. Not sure how to handle my Mag dosing.

How often should I test? How often should I dose?

Thx all
 
I started dosing daily for my mag. I figured out how much daily my system uses and for a while it was not enough to dose anything but as of lately I can dose. My tank uses just about 5ppm a day
 
Mg doesn’t need to be dosed daily, but can be if you have a spare doser or dosing head. I used to have Mg on a dosing pump for daily, but the dosing container grew some type of mold or bacteria from the stagnant Mg. I usually test Mg around 2-4 weeks and now manually add as needed.
 
I use the 2 part set up from Bulk Reef Supply and I basically dump about 1/4 of the 20oz required for each gallon of alkalinity and calcium every 1/4 gallon used but it is by no means an exact science lol
 
OK so I like to keep Mag at 1440. I am checkin it 1 a month and then dose(esv Mag) of the next 3 days usually about 500-600ml. Probably not the right way hence my questions.
Not sue how is eating all that Mag anyway???
Thx All
