red sea reef foundation test kit issues

[iceman86]

Anyone else on here using there kits and having issues? Ive been struggling with my reef for a few months since buying this kit and I finally got it narrowed down to this being a test kit issue. My alk constantly reads 1.5 dkh higher than it is, calcium 80ppm, and mag 180ppm.

I proved this by checking it with some freshly mixed h2ocean salt water, then I pulled out my api and got the same readings as my salt should be, then I went to red coral and they made a fresh batch of reef crystals saltwater and tested it with a variety of their kits and gave me the water to take home and test it with my red sea and once again it proved my test kit was off.

I got my tank all balanced out now and recovering but I had to lose a bunch of high end sps while at it. Stupid red sea!!!!!!

I also wanna thank red coral for helping me out with the testing issues and my other ones ive had in the past.
