I do, my 4 major test I always do are Nitrate, Alk, CA, and Mg. Magnesium test for me are usefull because of how many corals I have. Most people with low to moderate amount of corals can probably not have to test for Mg because it is the least consumed out of the "major 3, Alk/Ca/Mg" and normal/regular water changes is normally enough to replenish Mg. I on the other hand have to dose Mg daily just to keep it around the 1300 mark.
