Awesome! Do your blotchy’s swim around a lot? Mine only perches above his cave or hides inside his cave. He’ll only swim out for food, which makes sense since they are deep water fish.

in the 50g they were always out and about, in the 750, staying near an overhang, but it's only day 1 so let's see. I think the other fish will get them to come out more.

trident and leak detection kits installed and up and running. going to wait a while before setting up my calcium reactor. looks like my cal and mag are crazy high. going to stop dosing until my numbers are in range.

Let the trident run for a few days. Don’t dos anything until you calibrate it

calibrating as we speak, I let it run for a few days before calibrating

huge difference once calibrated. looks like alk and cal were way off. now gonna let it run for a few before dosing anything. then I will setup my calcium reactor.

It should stabile after the next 2 times it runs the cal/alk combined test. Overall the cal/mag tends to get a bit wonky. Alk is always spot on.
