Hello everyone. My name is Lou and I am new to this site. Although, not new to reefkeeping. This is my first post!

I had recently bought a new Salifert Alk test kit in March of this year. Upon performing a measurement with the low resolution and then again using high resolution. I noticed a considerable difference between the two, of which was 0.6 The low resolution measured 7.2 while the high resolution measured 7.8! I checked the expiration date which was a least a couple years from the date on which I performed the tests. I also repeated the two tests and got the same results.

Maybe a few of you can try the same thing to verify my results. I feel that O.6 is a considerable difference. I am hoping that the high resolution result is the correct one.
