Hmm this sounds strange. I haven't heard of any problems out of Seachem.
My guess is your water is inbalanced. What are you using for water. R/O or tap? When you make up water, what are your levels at?
Here is an article to read.

Here is one on pH too:

Here is also a Calculator for Calcium and Alk,

Read the first 2 links here and see if that helps to understand the problem.
