Sorry, I am just jumping into this so I don't know all the details.
What chemical/supplement did you use to raise your magnesium?
How long was it in PPM when you started raising it?
What is the reading now? And how long ago did you add the supplement?

Sounds like your test kit is bad. How old is it?

I'm confused. You're getting 0.10 magnesium??? That's not right. You should be getting around 1200-1600ppm. The scale doesn't go down to the tenths place.

If you use 0.9ml (0.1ml titrant remaining), then your magnesium is at 1800ppm. You're too high! Stop dosing!

It shows on the chart you start out with 1.0 then you keep going till it changes blue which is below the chart which shows the last of the reading is .38 which is 760 and it below that reading is 0.1 which is below 760 which is 0.380 probaly 0.325,im folling what the manual shows.

Ok, that means you had 0.9ml used. The chart says, "titrant used". 0.9ml is off the chart and corresponds to 1800ppm. You have high magnesium, not low.

Then your Mag is 1800 and is high not low. The more titrant you use the higher the Mag level is in your tank.
