I'd look up Trident and Alk reading FYI. Trident reads lower than Hanna if you weren't aware

We've done all the testing and calibration fluids on three different testing kits. They all came back closer to apex then hanna. It explains why we had no color or just green on a lot of corals. With alkalinity back at 8.6 I see color already coming back just in two weeks

Refrigerate the reagent and make sure it's 772s reagent not 755s reagent

I checked when you guys were talking about this in the thread. It is the 772s. and we have started keeping it refridgerated.

Had to double our alkalinity doser. Went from 55ml to 95ml per day. Raised it slowly of course

Great! I know I've been reading on the Tridents a lot. Picked up the A3 pro and looking to get a Trident next. Saw where people were saying Hanna reading 8.4 and Trident reading 6.8-7.2 in a ton of threads. Wasn't sure if it was the same for your situation

I don't know, that's me looking for it lol

Weird... Mine's the opposite... No color or green with Alk above 9 and no phosphates. Brought my Alk down from 10.1 to 8.9 and started dosing NeoPhos and I'm starting to see better PE and some color coming back.

 

[wes84]

You all got alot of corals and must have some huge huals lol. Can't wait to see you guys post what you got

Wow that took forever to load all the photos

Or the same, and ~8.5 is a good spot?

In 8.2ish

Possibly. I need to bring it down some more but I'm hoping that dosing phosphates it's going to start using some Alk, Calc, and Magnesium.

Yeah I prefer closer to 8 (but slightly above), but 8-9 I don't do anything drastic

We test with the salifert, red sea, hanna, and now trident. And we bought the calibration fluid for trident and hanna. Hanna was reading over .8 to 1.0 off. We also sent in icp test and waiting results.

Just cant have low nutrients or sps tips will burn easier

If it's older and not refrigerated it will be off..plus shake before use

I used to sit around 8.3 then my top off water changed without me realizing and I was topping off with 12.4 alk. I need to get an RO, but in the meantime I'm using air and Muriatic acid.
