Neptune Apex Trident Setup 

I cannot live without the Trident now, especially with the DOS compensating my 2 part dosing automatically. I wish they had a nutrient tester add-on for it. That would sell like crazy.

Does the inlet line stay primed? Or is it completely new tank water for each test? If it stays primed wouldn't the unit be testing water that entered the line just after the last test?

Thanks for the review and you insights. I look forward to your loong term experience. I definitely agree with you on trends, jim

I absolutely love the controlled dosing.

Super cool product. Can't wait for the update videos!💙🐟

Really happy with my trident so far 👌

You can cut the CLEAR WASTE LINE ONLY to better fit your application instead of having it coiled up. Of course if you cut the black sample line your test cuvette will overflow and ruin the trident.

The trident is such a great piece of equipment to have. Like you said they’re easy to set up and gives you piece of mind when it comes to keeping your reef parameters stable. Yours fit right in your cabinet easy. It’s like it was made for it. 😂

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what i was researching today and now the best reefer on youtube does a video on it, i gotta buy a lotto ticket (that win would be a HUUUUUUUUUUGE tank lol)

I thought you had the triton, interesting let’s check it out!

Can you please make a video on how to setup trident dosing with DOS please !

I could never go back to manual testing.

So to this day are you still happy with the system

My 2 biggest suggestions if you care, 1. calibrate it using tank water and manual test results. The calibration solutions I have gotten have been far enough away from my normal parameters that I get a lot more variation in trident readings (i.e. +/- 40-50 on cal and Mag). using tank water keeps the graphs way more consistent(+/- 10) alk seems about right no matter what. When using the trident calibration solution there was so much variance in cal/mag that it wouldn't detect trends over months. Now, I check at the end of my 2 month supply and my manual tests are nearly identical to the trident readings. 2. the 3d printed funnels that go in the reagent caps to keep the needles straight will save you some head scratching when the reagents start getting low. If you see the calcium reading shoot up and the mag reading drop at the same time, this seems to be due to air in the line, which for me was due to the needles not staying completely vertical.

The trident has more accuracy than the other testers....read the labels on your test kits in your alktronic /mastertronic ....once it's calibrated ...you can trust your trident to test more reliably than others and auto dos as needed....I absolutely love the product and would not want a hard coral tank without it...it is my heavy opinion the best piece of gear any reefer could buy...the whole ecosystem is so polished these days

I love my trident but have found the calibration solution they provide to be terrible 75% of the time. I switch to always calibrate with fauna marin calibration fluid and the results are very accurate

Cant believe you dont get more likes - this was a great video. I just sent mine up and was wondering when i use the calibration soulution and it doesnt say it anywhere so Im glad you knew. Im hoping i love this machine but they are kind of lacking behind on having information current and detailed, specially with this new A3 Pro. All the walk throughs show the old system which for the price of this machine I thought they would be updated. @neptunesystems your first video on your page is 6 years old... smh

Is this your first trident? Welcome!!!

Dude… what is that co2 level chart on your apex screen 🤔

What happened with GHL we need a review please

Do all new Tridents come with a pre-line filter? Just got a second Trident a couple months ago and mine didn't

The physical unit appears very cheaply made from the video - makes sense on the durability issue with them....Curious which you prefer....Mastertronic or Trident

Yea let's gooooo i💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥👍👍👍👍

That little filter on the sample line seems to me will cause you inaccurate readings. The sample line is so small any restriction will adversely impact the sample volume and cause inaccurate readings. I like the idea of a filter but my research led me to that style will not work. Did it work for you?

Are those xr15 or xr30 behind you?

What do you think about Trident controlled All For Reef? Is that even possible due to the lag for it to show up as alkalinity?

Is this the same Trident thats been out for 3 years?

What are you using for the dosing pump?

This is no longer a Reefing hobby but a gadget hobby…
