I have been using a red sea Alk kit for about a month now and I've liked it as far as its consistency is concerned. I also have a salifert kit that I use to check up on my Red Sea kit every once in a while.
Yesterday I tested my alk using only the Red sea kit and it came to 7.7 which is what my tank always runs at.
Today I tested again and it came to 8.4? My alk has been running steady for a month and a half so I decided to retest using the salifert kit.
The salifert kit came out to 8. In the past I had seen that my salifert kit was usually about .2-3 higher than the red sea kit so at 7.7 on the Red Sea kit it would come to about 8 on the salifert kit.
Is there something wrong with my red sea test kit all of a sudden? I'm confused about the odd reading but everything else seems normal.
