So I’ve been running my trident for almost a week not. From the start the alk numbers have been low, consistently 5.5-5.6. I used my Hanna twice and got 7.75 which is normal from previous tests. Even my Red Sea test read about 7.5. So I waited to calibrate to today and after running with the calibration fluids it’s read 6.6 the last two readings. I’ve read people having issues calibrating it when there’s a large difference and it doesn’t “like” calibrating more than 1 dkh. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I’m going to let it run for a few days and recalibrate to see if it will come up again. I also plan on testing the calibration fluid with my Hanna checker tomorrow. Any tips going forward.
It was used for about 4 months when I purchased it.
btw, it did hit 7.9 with 7.75 calibration fluid
