mag. level

what would be a too high reading for magnesium? I tested today at 1140 ppm added esv mag. and put too much in. normally it takes alot to bring it up but not this time. it's at 1470 is this a major problem? should I do immediate water change or just let it go back down

Not a problem. You'll be better off leaving it than reacting. The more rapid fire changes you do (ie water change) the more parameter shifting you do. Better to just leave it be. 1470 isn't out of this world high anyway (and if you have any bryopsis it will actually help).

thanks Phyl you calmed my fears.

Good! Too often our (my) over reaction is worse than the effect of the change we're trying to "fix"/counter.
