    Seems like testing error or bad test kit. Have a secondary person (LFS) do a test to confirm.

    I concur! Have you checked the use by date??

    Hmmmmmm - I would doubt the ability of these lights to be able to sustain Zoos, let alone high demanding SPS coral.

    As stated in above posts the clip on lights are in the refugium. The Display tank where the zoanthids are, have a metal halid above them giving them the lighting.

    Now a few days later down to 40 ppm. Just kinda wierd to see such a spike for no reason.
