Need to Worry?

[JD'sReef]

So everyone here was helping me for a bit while I was trying to get the CA and KH balanced out in my 46Reef. My question is as follows!
CA - 435ppm
KH - 13.4dkh

Using one of the online calculator, I was able to determine the my KH was about 4DKH points to high in relation to my CA level. Seeing that my CA level is high but noting to be concerned with, and my KH level is also to high in comparison to natural sea water do I sweat this?
I am currently dripping 1TBS or KALK mix and feel that even though both readings are a bit high, there is no need for concern.
I am also using SALFERT test kits and have heard that they went out of business for faulty readings. Doese anyone know if this is true and if so please advise.
Thanks,
J.

I know salifert had a bad batch of Alk kits go out earlier this year and had some issues replacing them all. I dont think they went under though I am not certain.

My corals do better at closer to NSW ranges of ALK, and I like to keep my alk @ 8dkh no higher. I would have issues at that high of a DKH no doubt.

Ben,
It may have just been the store owners way to try and get me to perform an impulse buy on new test kits. However; all he did was get my wheels spinning not spend any cash.
I think that maybe you and my gut are correct in the sense that levels that high are only asking for trouble. There may not be a direct correlation to something going wrong with my params, but I would not hurt to stop the KALK drip and let the levels go down naturally.
Thanks,
J.
