What test kit are you using? I suspect it isn't giving you accurate readings.

 

Salifert test kit

Did you try a new salt mix? The something similar just happened to me. I changed to a heavily supplemented salt mix to encourage coral growth and my alk went nuts. Then I looked at the label and saw that at 1.025 salinity (my target), the alk would be about 12. Mine was 13. I stopped adding anything to my tank and it came down naturally.

 

Don't know if that's it, but read up on your salt. Good luck.

How many times did you test?

 

Do you roll your salt around (to mix) before using it?

 

Did you start a new salt batch/container?
