I use the Red Sea test kits for alk and mag cal is Api I dose with BRS 2 part mag cal and soda ash instant ocean doesn't have the additive that the reef crystal do so that's what I was asking so maybe it would be better to use that based on what ur saying I may have to switch to reef crystals so I don't have to dose as much

Also was the new SW throughly mixed? Even the slightest bit of unmixed salt landing on a coral could kill it. I usually mix my SW and leave it overnight with a powerhead and heater just to make sure it's perfect.
