I would say it’s all most definitely a testing error, at least on the alk, as 2 is around 10 times the increase you should have got, plus your tank will be using some alk too, so to see a 2 increase is a test error imo.Last I tested was Monday. I will do a follow up test tomorrow to see if anything goes up. I’m using the API reef master kit and only dosing 2.5ml a day what the instructions says
I only use Api for nitrate, not saying it’s no good for cal or alk but it’s definitely not a brand I hear people use a lot of for those tests.
I can recommend Salifert Or Aqua Forest for alk, for calcium salifert and mag Aqua Forest, the good thing about Aqua Forest test kits is they come with a reference solution so you test that, then you can see what colour you are looking for.
