This product is designed to measure the concentration of magnesium in a marine aquarium and includes a spare cartridge for reagent 3.

Warning! Reagent 1 contains sodium hydroxide, which can cause serious burns. Keep this reagent securely stored and out of reach of children. Always wear protective gloves when handling. If the substance comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention. If you experience nausea, consult a doctor and bring this manual with you.

A proper magnesium concentration is essential for the health of marine invertebrates and algae. A prime example is the red calcareous algae, which require substantial amounts of magnesium to form their skeletons. Natural seawater typically has around 1300 mg/l of magnesium. To create optimal conditions in your marine aquarium, it's crucial to maintain this concentration. The Sera magnesium test allows you to quickly and easily assess the magnesium level in your aquarium. You can also effectively boost magnesium levels using Sera magnesium plus.

Additionally, magnesium levels can be raised with Sera marin COMPONENT 6 magnesium. The amount of reagent needed will depend on the calcium levels in the water you are testing.

Store in a cool, dark place!

Instructions for Use:

In a marine water aquarium, maintaining an optimal magnesium level is vital for the thriving of invertebrates and decorative algae. Red calcareous algae are a great example, as they require high magnesium levels for their skeletal structure. Natural marine water contains around 1,300 mg/l, which should also be replicated in your aquarium for ideal conditions. The Sera magnesium-Test enables you to monitor your aquarium’s magnesium levels swiftly and efficiently. If you have prior testing experience with the Sera calcium-Test, this will be even easier for you. You can easily enhance the magnesium level in your marine water aquarium by using Sera marin COMPONENT 6 magnesium.

Directions for use: Shake the reagent bottles well before use! Avoid letting the tested water come into contact with aquarium or pond water!

  1. Rinse the measurement vial several times with the water you wish to test, then empty it. Dry the outside of the vial.
  2. Rinse the syringe multiple times with the water to be tested, then use it to fill the vial with 2 ml of this water.
  3. Add 6 drops of reagent 1 and shake the vial until the liquid is evenly mixed. Any cloudiness that appears will not affect the test.
  4. Add one level measuring spoon (provided in the kit) of reagent 2 to the vial and gently swirl (do not shake) until the powder has dissolved.
  5. Gradually add reagent 3 drop by drop while counting them. After every 5 drops, release pressure on the bottle to allow air to enter. Shake the vial after each drop until the color shifts from pink to blue (not violet) and remains stable for at least 30 seconds while you gently whirl the vial occasionally. Note the number of drops used.
  6. Empty and thoroughly rinse the measurement vial with tap water, then rinse it several times with the water to be tested and empty it again. Dry the outside of the vial.
  7. Use the syringe to take up 2 ml of the water to be tested and fill the vial.
  8. Add 6 drops of reagent 4 and shake the vial until the liquid is evenly mixed. Any cloudiness that appears will not affect the test.
  9. Add one level measuring spoon (included in the kit) of reagent 5 to the vial and gently swirl (do not shake) until the powder has dissolved.
  10. Add reagent 3 drop by drop while counting the drops, releasing pressure on the bottle after every 5 drops to allow air to be drawn in. Shake the vial after each drop until the color changes from red to green and remains stable for at least 30 seconds while whirling the vial occasionally. Note – you will require significantly more drops for this measurement compared to the first measurement!
  11. To find the magnesium level, subtract the number of drops used for the first measurement from the number of drops used for the second measurement. Multiply the remaining number of drops by 60 to calculate the magnesium level in mg/l. For example, if the first measurement used 4 drops and the second used 24 drops, subtracting gives you 20 drops. Multiplying 20 drops by 60 results in a magnesium level of 1,200 mg/l.
  12. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the vial and syringe with tap water before and after each test. Close the reagent bottles immediately after use and do not switch caps. Store at room temperature and away from light. This product is intended for testing ornamental fish aquariums and pond water only.

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
