How old are the kits? is there an exp. date on them? Def get an alk test. Your calc is a lil low but the rest look fine

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Just to be safe you should check with a buddy close to you. See if they can test your water using their kits and see if they get the same results.

I bought API test kits as a double check I use salifert normally know I'll no I also have red sea 3 year old

Yeah I would say the alk is your problem... Way low. When you raise it, do it slowly or you will shock the hell outta the rest of your corals and lose them. Read up on using baking soda to raise your alk
