Neptune Systems Trident (CAL, ALK, MAG) Marine Aquarium Water Analyzer

 

A key ingredient to a great reef aquarium is maintaining proper levels of Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium.

 

The Trident is an automated testing system that regularly tests alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium in your saltwater aquarium — and then communicates this information to your Apex so you can get alerts, and change your dosing. When combined with the DOS (available separately) it creates a fully automated system for the proper dosing of supplements, maintaining them at consistent levels.

 

FINALLY, TOSS ALL THOSE TEST KITS!

 

Syringes, vials, colors, endpoints, expiration dates — now a thing of the past for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium. Now, with zero effort, you get up to date values for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium — anywhere in the world!

 

Features:

 

AUTOMATED TESTING OF ALKALINITY, CALCIUM, AND MAGNESIUM -  Using an automated titration method, with colormetric identification, the Trident automatically tests your aquarium water up to 24 times a day for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium.

 

INCREDIBLE PRECISION - The Trident tests consistently with a precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for Alkalinity and 15ppm for Calcium and Magnesium. Using any hobby-grade test kit on the market, even humans cannot perform the tests that consistently

 

EASY, PLUG AND PLAY, 15-MINUTE SETUP - From the box to testing in under 10 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.

 

EASY TO READ RESULTS AND GRAPHS - The peace of mind of having your recent tank parameters, right there in your pocket, from anywhere in the world.

 

HIGH/LOW ALERTS WHEN TANK IS OUT OF RANGE - Your Apex will alert you on your mobile device when test results fall out of the range you specify.

 

CONTROLS DOSING TO MAINTAIN MOST CONSISTENT LEVELS POSSIBLE - When the Trident is combined with the DOS system (sold separately), the two work in concert. Your Apex will use the data generated from Trident tests to automatically and safely adjust up or down your dosing amounts to keep your tank levels as stable as possible.

 

ONE MONTH'S REAGENT SUPPLY STORES NEATLY INSIDE -  Convenient and clean, the Trident is self contained and when running the basic testing regimen only requires a reagent change once a month.

 

USES LESS THAN 7ML TANK WATER PER TEST - Some testing systems use as much as 100ml of your tank water for every test. This can cause fluctuations in tank salinity. With the minimal sample taken by the Trident, there will be almost no effect on your salinity. Unlike other solutions, potentially contaminated test water is never sent back into the aquarium. Instead, it is sent it to a waste container or drain.

 

INCREDIBLY QUIET! - The Trident is so quiet that our customers have said they rarely hear it – and when they do hear the quiet little chirps they are pleased to know that new test numbers are coming soon and they never had to pull out a test kit!

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

The Trident is a self contained automatic titration colorimeter. That’s quite a mouthful, for sure, so let’s state it as simply as we can. The Trident is basically automating what you (and top scientists) do already when you test your water, that is, perform a color changing titration and interpret the results.

 

On a scheduled basis the Trident carefully mixes its reagents with a small amount of sample water from your aquarium. While doing this, it is measuring (titrating with a precision peristaltic pump) the amounts of each that are necessary to reach an expected color change (determined by the electronic colorimeter). When it finishes the titration, it sends this sample/reagent fluid to your waste container. It then interprets the results of that test and logs the value into your Apex.
