The alk level of the Red Sea blue bucket should be around 8.0 when mixed properly. So this would lower the alk of your tank assuming your tank had a higher alk. As well doing a 5 G water change is not going to cause your alk to move much at all. So like Fishfinder offered, this is most likely test error.
Yes, that is pretty much the only conclusion we are left with.

Tested twice and came up with the same result. I started with dry rock not sure of the name. Tank is about 8months old and it’s bare bottom also.
