That being said, I'd still throw it out and get a Salifert or other recommended good kit. The Hagen I used when I started gave me wrong measurements every time.

Brad that tester from hagen is the hardness test kit not the Calcium test kit.
Chad, 20 drops of # 3 would come out to be 400mg/l for calcium which is not extremely high. I have used hagen test kit's since day one and they work great, are cheep and easy to use. With the calcium kit you have to make sure you shake # 2 for about a minute.

1 Drop of # 3 is = to 20mg/l of calcium.

hope that helps
