Brightwell Aquatics Magnesion
Overview
- Highly-concentrated ionic magnesium solution
- Provides magnesium, which helps regulate the balance between calcium and carbonates in aquarium water, and is a component of aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, and their allies to form skeletal material
- Stronger than most competing products
- Contains no unwanted organic material such as EDTA, gluconate, or polygluconate
- Formulated by a marine scientist
Technical Background
Magnesium plays a vital role in reef aquaria: it helps maintain calcium and carbonate (composing the majority of measurable alkalinity) concentrations by limiting unwanted inorganic precipitation with each other.

|---|---|
| Magnesium Concentration | Highly concentrated ionic form |
| Organic Additives | None (EDTA, gluconate, polygluconate absent) |

I’ve used Magnesion for three months in my 120-gallon reef tank. The magnesium levels stayed stable without needing frequent adjustments. My corals have grown more vibrant and the water chemistry remains balanced. No signs of cloudiness or precipitation issues.

After switching from a generic magnesium supplement, I noticed a significant improvement in my tank’s stability. The water clarity improved and my polyps became more active. No organic additives mean I don’t have to worry about chemical buildup.

The product works well in maintaining magnesium levels. It’s slightly more concentrated than other brands I’ve tried. I still need to monitor alkalinity occasionally, but overall it’s reliable and effective.
