Wanted to get the forum's input.
A few weeks ago I set up my Trident since I have now put SPS in my tank and I need to dial it in to keep these things alive (so far I've had a few that are doing well and a good handful that are not doing well).
I set up the trident, calibrated it and got it running and I do manual testing every weekend to double check so I did that.
As of today my Alk is all over the place with 3 different test kits. Trident says 7.16, Salifert says 7.7 and Hannah says 8.29. Which do I go off of? I did 3 tests of the trident and Hannah the other day and they averaged about the same and I got the Salifert today, but I want to make sure I get it right since I'm trying to dose and keep it around 8.
Also, I don't trust Hannah that much. The salinity thing I got was way off and I calibrated it once a week.
For the SPS my calcium is around 450 and Mag is around 1350, trying to bring that up a bit.
Thanks!
