I have a 4" Blue Maxima coming tommorow from Clams Direct, but I just checked my Calcium last night and its 700
My Alk is low but I'm waiting for my Salifert kit to come in because the Alk kit I have just goes by colors not numbers. I changed 20gals of water 3 days ago with RO/DI and IO salt. I don't add kalk or anything else so why is my numbers so High? I use Seatest calcium kits but I'm changing to salifert kits for that also. I talked to Barry at Clams direct and he said he keeps his clams at Calcium 380-420, and Alk around 9.5. He told me to just acclimate the clam slowly. I have SPS and LPS corals that should be sucking up the calcium? Do you guys think it might be my test kit

Do you guys think something is wrong with my IO salt or the Seatest test kit?
