What are you doing to raise the alkalinity so quickly?? Seems awfully fast if you want things to remain stable....

Good read about the interactions of alkalinity and your reef system: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/alkalinity.htm

Most if not all test kits have a shelf life and it probably wasn't the best idea to use a "mixture" of a bunch of left-over kits.
