When combined with the DOS (available separately) it creates a fully automated system for the proper dosing of supplements, maintaining them at consistent levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatically performs Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium tests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 1-month of reagent*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine with Neptune DoS for automated dosing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable alerts for out of range parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData is graphed for easy to comprehend tank stats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be set-up and integrated with your Apex in less than 15 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpties used reagents and sample into an external vessel (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to one month of testing before reagents need changing; based on 4-Alk, 2-Ca, 2-Mg tests per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequires Neptune Apex or ApexEL with an open 1Link OR a 24V Power and Aquabus cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a scheduled basis the Trident carefully mixes its reagents with a small amount of sample water from your aquarium. It then interprets the results of that test and logs the value into your Apex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Plug \u0026amp; Play Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsistency \u0026amp; Precision\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstant Alerts \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltimate Stability with the Neptune DŌS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Trident, when paired up with one or more of our DŌS systems solves this problem with Automatic Dosing Control (ADC)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen configured on the Apex, ADC will take the results it receives from the Trident and uses them to gradually turn up or down the amount of additive your DŌS delivers. But, don’t worry, we have built this feature with safety in mind. With ADC you set your target value and your starting dosing amount and ADC will only tune that dosing level +\/-35%. If it takes more than that amount of dosing to keep your aquarium at your target value, then the Apex will stop ADC, revert to your starting dosing amount, and alert you that you need to manually adjust your dosing level. Then, ADC can be re-enabled and it will continue to guide your DŌS so that it keeps you as close to your target value as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is possible to use ADC for all three tests – Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium. You can also use one test value to adjust up or down more than one additive delivered by the DŌS (i.e. Triton system).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAlkalinity Precision - +\/-.05 dKh\u003cbr\u003eCalcium Precision - +\/-15 ppm \u003cbr\u003eMagnesium Precision - +\/-15 ppm \u003cbr\u003eTesting Time - Around 7 minutes per test\u003cbr\u003eSample Water Required - Around 8mL per test\u003cbr\u003eMax Head - Must be less than 4' from the water sample\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Trident System\u003cbr\u003e1x 1Link Cable\u003cbr\u003e5' Black Sample Tubing\u003cbr\u003e5' Clear Waste Tubing\u003cbr\u003e1x 2-Month Reagent Supply*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neptune Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57054772330827,"sku":"NEPTUNE-TRIDENT","price":774.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/7065\/4027\/files\/212271-neptunesystems-trident-_wateranalyzer-testing-an_1.jpg?v=1776425844","url":"https:\/\/krakencorals.co.uk\/products\/neptune-systems-trident-marine-aquarium-water-analyzer-kh-ca-mg","provider":"Kraken Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
