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.

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

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.
