Calcium reactor could be the cause.

I am not running a calcium reactor. I have a profilux doser but havnt had a use for it yet as I have few corals. I have not added anything to the tank for supplementation.

did you test the first time right after the water change? Do you let the saltwater sit overnight?

The first time I tested the tank had been running for 3 weeks. I usually have the salt mix for 24 to 48 hrs in a brute

well, like the other guy said, try a different test kit. You appear to be doing everything correctly.
