By removing the need for manual test kits, the Trident delivers consistent, high-frequency data that helps reef keepers better understand consumption trends, detect issues early, and maintain long-term stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trident connects directly to a compatible Neptune Systems Apex controller and logs every test result into Apex Fusion, where results are graphed over time and can trigger alerts or automated actions. When paired with a Neptune Systems DŌS or DŌS QuietDrive dosing pump, the Trident becomes the foundation of a closed-loop testing and dosing system that can automatically adjust additive delivery to maintain target parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trident uses automated titration combined with an internal colorimeter to replicate the same chemical testing process used in manual hobby test kits, but with far greater consistency. On a scheduled basis, the Trident draws a small water sample from the aquarium, mixes it with reagent, and precisely measures the color change using a controlled peristaltic pump system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the test is complete, the sample and reagent are expelled to an external waste container, and the measured value is logged into the Apex. This process repeats automatically based on the testing schedule you define.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApex Integration \u0026amp; Alerts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Trident test results are displayed in Apex Fusion, where data is stored, graphed, and analyzed over time. Users can configure alerts to notify them if alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium move outside of a defined safe range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond notifications, Trident data can also be used to trigger automated responses such as pausing dosing, adjusting output, or activating other connected equipment to help protect the aquarium from instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomatic Dosing Control with Neptune DŌS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with one or more Neptune Systems DŌS dosing pumps, the Trident allows you to enable optional Automatic Dosing Control (ADC). ADC takes results from the Trident and uses them to gradually adjust what the DŌS delivers. Built-in safeguards protect your aquarium by comparing measured changes against dosing adjustments. Dosing changes are limited to ±35% per adjustment. If no expected change is detected, ADC will shut down auto tuning, notify you, and revert to the original dosing levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be quick and straightforward. The Trident connects via a single cable to the Apex's EB832 Power Bar, uses two lengths of tubing for sample intake and waste output, and is configured through guided setup tasks in Apex Fusion. No manual calibration, reagent mixing, or probe tuning is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesting is quiet and compact enough to run inside most aquarium cabinets without drawing attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Neptune Systems Apex Controllers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA3 Apex (Apex Pro, Apex, Apex Jr.*)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2 Apex (Apex, Apex EL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Note: If you're using an A3 Apex Jr., you'll need a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bulkreefsupply.com\/fmm-power-supply-neptune-systems.html\"\u003e36W 24VDC Power Supply\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bulkreefsupply.com\/aquabus-cable-neptune-systems.html\"\u003eAquabus cable\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequires:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen 1Link port or 24V power supply + Aquabus cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeptune Systems DŌS or DŌS QuietDrive required for automated dosing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 9.8\" x 12.4\" x 4.9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlkalinity Precision: ±0.05 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalcium Precision: ±15 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnesium Precision: ±15 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest Duration: Approximately 7 minutes per test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSample Volume: ~8 mL per test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Head Height: Must be less than 4 ft from water source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeptune Systems Trident ACM Tester\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1Link Cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Sample Tubing (5 feet)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Waste Tubing (5 feet)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2-Month Trident ACM Reagent Kit\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exotic Aquarium World","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47620947214548,"sku":"tridentnp","price":949.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9811\/8331\/files\/255102b-neptunesystems-tridentnp-reagentkit-wateranalyzer-bundle-fr.webp?v=1772689774","url":"https:\/\/www.eaworld.ca\/fr\/products\/trident-np-nitrate-phosphate-tester","provider":"Exotic Aquarium World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
