    Neptune Systems Trident and Apex A3 Jnr Bundle

    Special deal, limited offer.

    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.

    • Automatically performs Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium tests
    • Includes reagent
    • Combine with Neptune DoS for automated dosing
    • Programmable alerts for out of range parameters
    • Data is graphed for easy to comprehend tank stats
    • Can be set-up and integrated with your Apex in less than 15 minutes
    • Empties used reagents and sample into an external vessel (not included)

    How It Works

    The Trident is a self-contained automatic titration colorimeter.  The Trident is basically automating what you (and top scientists) do already when you test your water, that is, perform a colour 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.

    Consistency and Precision

    The Trident tests with a precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for Alkalinity and 15ppm for Calcium and Magnesium. This is better every hobby-grade test kit on the market.

    Understand Your Reef Tank Link 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.  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.

    Ultimate Stability with the Neptune DOS

    The more stable you maintain proper levels of Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium, the better your corals will grow and thrive. But coral uptake of these supplements often changes and requires us not only to perform more testing but also seems to put us in a never-ending state of adjusting our dosing levels.

    The Trident, when paired up with one or more of our DOS systems solves this problem with Automatic Dosing Control (ADC)

    When 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 DOS delivers. 

    It 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).

    Simple Reagent Changes

    The cost of reagents

    Reagent comes in 2-month kits (based on the default testing schedule of 4-Alk/2-Ca/2-Mg per day). These kits include two bottles of Reagent A (changed every month), one each of Reagent B and C (changed every two months), and one bottle of our calibration seawater sample. The reagent kit has at least 240 alkalinity tests and 120 tests each of Calcium and Magnesium.

    Ultra-Quiet Testing

     *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).

    A3 Apex Junior Base Unit
    The A3 Apex Jr is an affordable, entry level monitoring-only solution that keeps tabs on only your most essential tank needs. Track temperature, pH, water level, and floor leaks while keeping the door open to further monitoring and control options down the line.

    The Apex Jr features two AquaBus ports that will allow you to connect to additional modules and accessories to continue building out your control system. The opportunities for expansion are endless.

    *NEW* MOS Magnetic Optical Sensor
    The Neptune MOS replaces the previous OS-1-M and features an updated design that fits into tighter spaces and helps to prevent water incursion into the sensor. The MOS plugs into an Apex FMM port and, using reflected infrared light, will signal your Apex when it changes state from being wet to dry or dry to wet.

    LD-2 Surface Leak Detection Sensor
    Neptune's LD-2 is a full sized leak detection probe perfect for inside your stand, on hard floors, on top of skimmer cups, or any other flat surface where an overflow may cause issues.

    Lab Grade, Double Junction Probes
    The Apex system includes high-quality probes for monitoring your tank's temperature and pH.
