3/31/24 Updates:
For the second week in a row one of my urchins decided to relocate my green birdsnest so I had to reglue it.
Due to the low Iodine values in the ICP and verification via Salifert, I have starred dosing Red Sea's Trace A and decided to add Trace D as well as I am already dosing Trace C for Iron. All of my Potassium tests (Salifert) have come back at 450ppm so I am not worried about that at all right now.
Current Tank Values:
dKH (Trident) 11
Ca (Trident) 458
Mg (Trident) 1320
NO3 (Red Sea Pro) 0
PO4 (Hanna) 0.03
Iron (Hanna) 2
Iodine (Salifert) 0
Potassium (Salifert) 450
On the the photo updates...

4/7/24 Updates:
So this has been the week that has reminded me of why I don't fully trust technology...
My Trident clogged and wasn't getting a sample, had to sort that out. It is still giving me "bad range" for Ca and Mg test...so still sorting that out.
Multiple of my Hydra 26HDs decided to reset their time and date...one still isn't behaving (see end shot below).
Had to replace the modem in the house because it decided to die.
Testing by hand today:
Ca 480 (Hanna)
Fe 0 (Hanna)
I <0.01 (Salifert)
K 450 (Salifert)
NO3 0 (Red Sea Pro)
PO4 .04 (Hanna)

4/8/24 Update:
I took the Trident down to its bulk components, pull the hub out, gave it a soak in RODI and flush it out with a syringe and needle. It definitely seems to have some build up in it again (not the first time I have flushed it). I also pulled the sample line off and flush it out too, while some water was getting through it was not filling the vial up like it should and was definitely part of my erroneous test results the past two days.
I did a factory reset on my problem lights but they are not linking as s parent-child, so for now programmed them as stand alone fixtures. Fortunately I plan ahead and save the lighting schedule as a present in myAI so I just reupload the programming and move on. However, it is a pain not having them all linked together; the next time I have more patience I will factory reset all of them and try to get them all linked up together again.
