I hate test kits

Ok so i've been testing my calcium with a salifert test kit and an old API kit and getting right around 350ppm. I've been adding 1 ounce each of kent 2 part every morning and using a kalk reactor for top off, and have very few corals in the tank. my ALK has been reading between 8 and 10, again using 2 different test kits. I just bought yet another calcium test kit and read 430ppm. I don't know if my calcium is low or not. the only thing i still want to test is magnesium, have to buy a kit. does anyone have any suggestions to find some actually numbers for my calcium? I dont know if really need to be adding more calcium or if it's ok.
 
i would trust the new test kit over the older ones.

and if i remember correctly, over the summer salifert put out a bad batch of calcium test kits.
