No Idea buddy.
But I did check my calc/alk levels today and I am at:
Calc 390-400 (Seachem test, I need to get another test)
Alk 2.8 (salifert)
I'm not adding any chems today but will do so on Sunday according to another round of tests.

if your magnesium is off then that is the reason why your alk and calcium are low
if adding 2 part than suggest trying to get the magnesium tested from a local reefer or store (better safe than sorry)
phosphates will stop growth of sps also

I have problems keeping my sps tank stable... Using the two part, I have been using 275ml of calcium (2.5 cups/gal) and 300ml of alk (2.25 cups/gal) and think I'm almost right. If I miss a day, they both drop quickly... Need a peristaltic... I ordered a magnesium kit, but they were backordered, so I need to find another source. It's never been tested or adjusted, so I bet it is low, which could be the key to the balance.
