Anyone else running into this with the new test? I don't dose. I have been using Reef Crystals (plan on swapping to one closer to the parameters I want). I have a BUNCH of SPS that is growing great. Alk is usually 8.5-9.5 and with the API kit calcium was always testing 400-420. Salifert is over 500 every single time. Even after a week without dosing and no water changes, still over 500.
Another local reefer is having the same issue, he ordered his kit from Amazon and mine was from BRS. I'm pretty proficient with test kits and chemistry, so I don't think I'm botching it.
Any tips, tricks, or experience with this would be great! It's the newer kit where you add the 2ml water, add a scoop of reagent, then 0.6ml of reagent 2, then drop by drop until it turns blue. Except it takes over the full 1ml of reagent to do so, indicating over 500 each time. Which I find hard to believe.
