you think is to low 1120 ppm or is just ok???

id say its a bit low but not extremely.

If your mag is low it can throw off your alk and calcium.

I actually keep mine at about 1500. Some say it helps fight off some algae. I havent really noticed a difference, so i keep it there rather than letting it fluctuate.

Even though 1120 is just a tad low,I'd still try to bring it on up.Better safe than sorry.

Yes Low mag will help algae.
