Maybe you may need to wait abit and see if anything settle. Keep on regular
water changes with RO/DI or any purified water. After three week or so, test
the water spec. and see what show.

That is what I thought too Cap but my tank has had several water changes in the
past five months and still I can't get a reading.

Except that myself and hundreds of others are using Southdown sand
without problems.
It's simply aragonite sand and it's not likely to dissolve any faster
than Carrib-Sea or another brand. If you really were dissolving the
sand at an exeptionally high rate, you'd see problems with your pH and
probably also alkalinity.

Can you test the product water before putting into your tank? What the
reading say. Is that water from RO/DI or from some place like Tab / Facet
.... etc. Also check your water mix and see if your salt mix maybe an issue.
Your product water should be non-detectable of anything. Double check with
your LFS for your product water and your tank water and see what reading
they come up with.
