Ive got the same kit. Alk is in PPM on this kit. By know means is it a very accurate kit haha. I get the same alk reading, and for that matter, everything is the same. I cant tell on the mushrooms as I dont have any in the tank. Ill be picking some up over the weekend and I will let you know how they do, if theres anything weird about our stats on mine too.
It may be possible that the algae is suffocating the shrooms, but I dont know of hair algae to do that. My cleanup crew wont touch the slimey algae on the sand but will on the rocks. Maybe an emerald crab would help?
