Neptune Systems Trident - Marine Aquarium Water Analyzer

The Neptune Systems Trident is an advanced automated testing system designed for saltwater aquariums, providing accurate and consistent measurements of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. Here’s a detailed overview of its features, specifications, and included components:

Key Features:

• Automated Testing: The Trident automates the testing process for calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, eliminating the need for manual testing.
• Integration with Apex: It works seamlessly with Neptune Apex Controllers (Apex and ApexEL) to provide alerts and facilitate automated dosing when combined with the DŌS (Fluid Metering Module).
• Programmable Alerts: Set alerts for when test results fall outside of specified ranges, enabling proactive management of tank parameters.
• Data Visualization: Results are graphed in the Apex Fusion app for easy interpretation of your tank's health over time.

Benefits:

• Easy Setup: The Trident can be set up and integrated with your Apex system in less than 15 minutes, with a user-friendly installation process that requires no complicated calibration.
• Consistent and Precise Testing: Offers better accuracy than hobby-grade test kits, with precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for alkalinity and +/- 15 ppm for calcium and magnesium.
• Instant Alerts & Actions: The system can automatically alert you to out-of-range parameters and can adjust dosing through the DŌS system based on test results.

How It Works:

The Trident functions as a self-contained automatic titration colorimeter. It mixes reagents with a small sample of water from your aquarium, calibrates the necessary amounts needed to reach a color change, and logs the results into your Apex system. Used reagents and water samples are sent to an external waste vessel.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 9.8" x 12.4" x 4.9"
• Alkalinity Precision: +/- 0.05 dKh
• Calcium & Magnesium Precision: +/- 15 ppm
• Testing Time: Approximately 7 minutes per test
• Sample Water Required: Around 8 mL per test
• Max Head Height: Must be less than 4 feet from the water sample source.

What's Included:

• 1x Trident System
• 1x 1Link Cable
• 5' Black Sample Tubing
• 5' Clear Waste Tubing
• 1x 2-Month Reagent Supply (initial setup may reduce available testing days slightly)

Important Note:

• Reagents: The included reagent kit is for approximately 2 months of testing based on the default schedule. However, since some reagent is used during the initial setup, the remaining reagent will last around 45 days initially. Reagent kits can be purchased separately for ongoing testing needs.

Conclusion:

The Trident automated testing system revolutionizes the way aquarium owners monitor crucial parameters, ensuring a stable and healthy environment for reef inhabitants. If you have any questions regarding setup, operations, or compatibility, feel free to ask!
