Beautiful tank. How accurate are those alkalinity values? I don't want to side-track the thread but have you checked them against Salifert or another kit? Just curious to see if your Trident is reading 0.5-1.5 dkh lower than it really is.

Quite a few people, including myself, with newer Tridents are getting values for alk that are up to 1-1.5 dkh lower than Hana and Salifert even after calibration. Not a huge deal if it is consistent, then you should know where you need to be. There are several threads on this so I don't want to bog your's down. Was just curious when I saw you posting the Trident graph.

Are you measuring and testing hanna with true 10ml samples?

Yes. The whole routine. Same cuvette, placed in same orientation, clean with RO, rinse three times with tank water before testing, pinch of salt over the shoulder. The Hana checkers ime read high, especially PO4 so I switched back to Salifert. Of course all test methods will have some amount of testing error. I was just surprised how off Trident has been with so many users.

Let's get at it then. I'll check my trident to hanna results and see how they compare. Full disclosure though I never did put too much emphasis on those kind of results as long as the trends didn't throw red flags. It is interesting though and I'd be lieing if I said i didn't want to know now
