For all my Trident users. I just got my Trident hooked up about 3 days ago. I was quit shocked when I saw the readings. My Calcium has read over 700 since installing. I have manual test kit coming to verify these numbers. Did anyone have issues with the numbers being high when first installing the Trident? My Alk is close to what my Hanna checker reads. I have very little coral in my tank since its only about 3 months old. I use Reef Crystals like I have on all my other tanks. I am going to give it a couple more days then run the Calibration on the Trident but most said the numbers didnt change drastically after calibration.
Assuming this is correct what options do I have for lowering my Calcium levels since I dont have much coral to consume naturally? Lots of water changes? Obviously need to make sure my salt is not the culprit but I doubt its that high. Any other thoughts on why my calcium could be so high?
