Ok but do you mean the tank water calibration, or the calibration solution after calibration?

Trident does not rerun a test after calibration. So till the next scheduled test (midnight and noon for the combo) you will only see the calibration solution values.

You can however force a run of all three, using the cog then "start test > combined"

I used the calibration solution that comes with the trident ran the calibration sequence after the calibration was done I ran a force test and the numbers I got from my Hanna and salifert kits are way off from the trident

I’ve read online that some calibrate the trident using there tank water instead of the calico solution provided by Neptune they just put the parameters according to there test kit results

Usually you can just throw it as it has a short shelf live once opened. However since you do not know how accurate your manual test kits are, a common thing to do is to test the calibration solution with them, to see if you notice a delta between the reference value and what you measure with them.
