Description
The Neptune Trident is an automated testing system that regularly tests alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium in your saltwater aquarium. The Neptune Trident then communicates this information to your Neptune Apex so you can get alerts, and change your dosing. When combined with the Neptune DOS (available separately) it creates a fully automated system for the proper dosing of supplements, maintaining them at consistent levels.
Product Features:
Easy Plug & Play Setup – From the box to testing in under 15 minutes! Unlike other testing systems, there are no reagents to mix, tubes to cut, or pumps or probes to calibrate. Simply plug in one cable, two tubes, and run the setup task on the Apex Fusion mobile app — it holds your hand through the installation with helpful videos along the way.
Consistency & Precision – The Trident tests with a precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for Alkalinity and 15ppm for Calcium and Magnesium. This is better than humans can do consistently with every hobby-grade test kit on the market.
Understand Your Reef Tank Like Never Before – When you start getting the regular data coming in from the Trident you will be amazed at the things you can see happening. The daily light cycle swing on calcium carbonate uptake. A salinity drop by watching magnesium. An out of sync dosing of calcium. This increased understanding ultimately helps you maintain a better, more successful reef.
Instant Alerts – You can set up your Apex to alert you, or take immediate action(s) when a parameter falls outside of the safe zone you specify. As just one example, you might be dosing an Alkalinity solution and a misconfiguration could lead to overdosing of your tank. The Trident will catch that, alert you, and give you more time to make that correction before its too late and to save your aquarium. The data from the Trident can also be used to turn on and off other devices (like dosers or solenoids) to protect your tank even more.
Ultra-Quiet Testing – You will hear the Trident operate from time to time if you listen closely or you have a super-quiet room. And, as compared to other automated testing systems, it is several dB quieter. While inside your cabinet along with your other equipment, you will likely never even hear it.
Specifications:
- Alkalinity Precision – +/-.05 dKh
- Calcium Precision – +/-15 ppm
- Magnesium Precision – +/-15 ppm
- Testing Time – Around 7 minutes per test
- Sample Water Required – Around 8mL per test
- Max Head – Must be less than 4′ from the water sample
What’s Included?
- 1x Trident System
- 1x 36 Watt Power Supply
- 5′ Black Sample Tubing
- 5′ Clear Waste Tubing
- 1x 2-Month Reagent Supply*
*The included reagent is the actual 2-month reagent kit, however with initial setup of the Trident, a small amount of reagent will be used, which will result in about 45 days of reagent remaining (which can vary depending on how many times a day you test).
Note: Requires Neptune Apex or ApexEL with open 1Link OR a 24V Power Supply and Aquabus cable. Automatic dosing requires the use of the Neptune DOS Fluid Metering Module.
