Damn! Have you been dosing it at all? It should be around 1320-1350.

Reload the syringe and keep going with it. Add the second value to the first and you'll have the mg level.After purchasing a salifert mg test kit, it appears that my mg levels are over 1500.
By how much, I have no idea.
Your salinity is probably through the roof. If you are using a hydrometer, seriously consider a refratometer. If you already have one, check the calibration against one that is known to be right.Haven't been dosing whatsoever. I'm not sure why all of my levels are so high
That is very strange. How often are you topping off and doing wc's? Are you mixing your own or buying from the lfs?Haven't been dosing whatsoever. I'm not sure why all of my levels are so high

It's honestly been a few months since I did a real water change. And I haven't supplemented anything really as far as trace elements go.So how often do you do water changes? What do you keep your salinity at? Reef Crystals is a decent salt, so if your RO really is pure then idk where the Mg is coming from.
Your SPS may be starved for a trace element or micronutrient. That is a big reason why people do water changes on reefs, even when everything looks good. You should never wait until it becomes a state of emergency. Certain ions (e.g. iodide) have a relatively short half-life in the aquarium and need to be replenished more often.
Do you dose any supplements for various trace elements?
The water volume of the entire system is roughly 400 gallons.How big is your tank and what's the filtration like? Have you lost any corals? Even though you're showing no nitrates, you should still continue with water changes? Sps corals are extremely sensitive so there could be something else you're missing such as certain trace elements that there's no test kits for. I do 2 wc's a week on my mixed reef biocube even though all params appear perfect just to replenish any elements that have been used up.
