Last saturday I purchased a new Salifert calcium test kit. I opened the test kit when I got home and noticed it's a bit different than my old test kit.
My problem is that it is reading my calcium at or right at 500ppm. My calcium has never tested that high. I have stopped all kalk. dripping for pure ro water into this 120g full sps/clam tank. I have tested the calcium every other day and it has maintained this reading. Meanwhile my alkalinity is falling. I can handle that.
My question is...has anyone had any problems with this new formulated calcium test kit??? I want to trust this reading as being correct but with no avenue for calcium being introduced into this tank, where in the world is the calcium coming from?? Or is this test kit maybe a bad one??
My old kit always ran ~440ppm.
TIA....
