That's pretty much my only issue. I did my water change today, I was using tap water but I let the chlorine evaporate over a few days and hardened the water a bit. The water I added was neutral, but I went straight to blue in the tank. I've uploaded some pictures of the set up, I only added the driftwood today, but this was happening before that. I'm trying not to use chemicals, but I don't want it to get too alkaline.
Is this a big problem, no fish have died, just a tad worried about it, I like the test coming back green.

My tank is about 50 gallons, 190litres (that's to the water level). My equipment is as follows-
Resun Ae-808 canister filter. I have charcoal, bioballs, biomesh and a filtermesh in it's 4 sections.
A 200W heater
An 18W sunlight light
Dual valve air pump
And all the chemical odd and ends.

That's my current set up. The nitrite are at 0ppm, so it's filtering correctly. Maybe it's the shells in the supposedly "natural gravel" mix.
Fishtank August 1st - Imgur - that's just some pictures of the tank. I've changed a little, but the glare is horrendous and can't get a decent picture. Nothing major has been altered, the drift wood was all that was added.
