I was out for a while too, getting married and traveling the world. I've never heard of Alk registering as a bluish-greenish color. That sounds like a pH test. Alk tests have you watch for the color change. If you are planning to grow coral, testing for Alk and Ca are a must. Coral don't show problems with those 2 parameters until it's already past time to do something about it.
