Not sure whats going on ,, if u have any ideas
So, I was getting really high reading on Alk with my Reef Crystals salt ,, high enough I was switching salts ,, I bought a buckets of Tropic Marin Pro salt ,, got it yesterday and made a batch of salt to 1.026 ,, everything I have read on this salt ,, and I have read a lot ,, says this salt should test to a Alk number of 7.5 to 8 ,,
I break out my Salifert Alk test kit ,, test kit is good till 12/ 2023 it says ,, I get a Alk number of 14 ,, I am like there is no way that number is right ,, I go get my brand new ,, never used,, Salifert Alk test kit ,, same expiration date ,, do the test and get the same number ,,
I called a fried he uses a Red Sea Alk test kit ,, he will be coming over in the next 2 hours and test with his kit,,
Salifert is a pretty easy test kit to use ,, I know I am not messing up using it, but just in case ,, I will tell ya'll what I am doing ,, in case any of you have used this brand before :
put 4ml of water in the tube
add four drops of the first reagent
fill the 1ml syringe with the second reagent to the 1ml line
add by drops till the water in the tube turns pink
done ,, look at the number on the syringe ,, look at chart
I got no clue,, I just know that 14 number can't be right,,
