Aquaforest CA test Kit issues

So I have tried a few times testing my calcium and the color never changes from the grayish blue to the deep blue as indicated it should. I have went over the steps a few times and done them byu the book each time, starting with 2ml of tank water.

I can successfully complete the Alk and Mag test, but the CA kit doesn't work as should.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Maybe you Ca is very high ?
If yes after finish small syringe 1ml with reagent take one more and add to the vial...
Did you tried to make the test with reference solution that you have inside the small bottle ?
Bellow you will find a video about this test and how to do it.
