Been doing this for a long, long time, and this is the first I’ve ever seen my alkalinity turned blue in the dosing container. Nothing changed from my routine. Has anybody ever seen this happen? Alk dropped more suddenly than normal, but not out of a range I’m worried about. I went to see if I needed to refill my alk and then I saw it was completely blue.

everything in the tank looks happy and healthy still.

disregard, I figured it out. After cleaning out the container and going to refill it, the whole gallon of ME alkalinity was bad. It was purple in the container too, which is weird. It was clear when I filled it up. It must’ve gone bad after I opened it.
