I would suggest verifying those numbers with a different test kit. It's possible to have a bad test kit.

did a test with another kit
OK My buddy brought his MG Salifert kit over and tested and
his reading is 200 ppm less then mine... So he does not know if his kit is too low by 200 or mine is too high by 200 I will bring water sample to LFS tommorow and see what reading they get. We suspect my brand new Salifert MG kit is defective... To Be Advised.
