Sorry didn't see that.

Seachem reef status? That's weird, I always found that to be a really reliable test. Maybe someone else can chime in, but I have a hard time gronking that H2Ocean can be mixing with such low alk - After every water change with it my alk jumps measurably, from 8 to 9 usually. I'm presently using Red Sea tests, and they've been pretty consistent. Your calcium reading looks spot on though, H2Ocean has tons of it.
