Ca/Alk/Mag Mess . . . How to fix?

The Seachem test kits have a reference sample in them. Maybe someone close to you has some? If not, I could try mailing you some: if I can figure out how best to package it.

Thanks for the offer
I'll buy the Seachem kits if my next bucket is out of whack and then will be sending the Elos kits off for analysis

I'm on my second set of the big 3 test kits with the same results
I've seen lots on the web and a few here mention the IO was out of whack going back as far as X-mas
