Features

Experience a new level of aquatic success and convenience with automated parameter testing! Adding a Trident brings consistent, automated measurement of levels inside your aquarium so that you can make better decisions or even automate actions to maintain stability in your system.

Quiet Operation
Quiet Operation

Trident is Quiet. If you listen really carefully in a quiet room you might just hear your Trident running a test.

Dosing Made Easy
Understand Your Aquarium

Regular testing and data will give you a level of insight into your aquarium that will help you to maintain a better, more successful reef.

Low Cost
Low Per Test Cost

Reagents available in 2 and 6 month packs. Each reagent pack provides 60 (NP) and 240 (Trident) tests

Precision
Consistent and Precise

Proven testing consistency and accuracy in excess of results achievable with equivalent manual aquarium test kits.

The key ingredient to a great reef aquarium is consistent levels and controlled biologicals.

With Trident testers regularly testing alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium (Trident) and phosphate, nitrate (Trident NP) in your saltwater aquarium — and then communicating this information to your Apex, you can set alerts, manage dosing, or adjust equipment or behavior to improve stability and consistency. When combined with the DOS QD dosing pump (available separately) you can fully automate dosing of supplements, and additives for improved water parameter management.

“The trident is as Important to my system as the return pump.”

With Every Trident

Easy Plug and Play Setup

From the box to testing in under 45 minutes! Unlike other testing systems, there are no tubes to cut, or pumps or probes to calibrate.

Easy to Read Results and Graphs

The peace of mind of having your recent tank parameters, right there in your pocket, from anywhere in the world.

High/Low Alerts When Tank is Out of Range

Your Apex will alert you on your mobile device when test results fall out of the range you specify.

Automated Dosing Control

Combine Trident with DOS Quiet Drive (sold separately), and your Apex will utilize Trident’s data to automatically and safely modify your dosing. (Coming soon to Trident NP)

Neptune Trident ClosedNeptune Trident Open
Trident

Using an automated titration method, with colorimetric identification, the Trident automatically tests your aquarium water up to 24 times a day for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium.

The Trident tests consistently with a precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for Alkalinity and 15ppm for Calcium and Magnesium. Using any hobby-grade test kit on the market, even humans cannot perform the tests that consistently.

Convenient and clean, the Trident is self contained and when running the basic testing regimen only requires a reagent change once a month.

Some testing systems use as much as 100mL of your tank water for every test. This can cause fluctuations in tank salinity. With the minimal sample taken by the Trident, there will be almost no effect on your salinity. Unlike other solutions, potentially contaminated test water is never sent back into the aquarium. Instead, it is sent it to a waste container or drain.

Neptune Trident NP ClosedNeptune Trident NP Open

Using an automated titration method, with colorimetric identification, the Trident automatically tests your aquarium water for Nitrates and Phosphates once a day.

Plus or minus 1 ppm for Nitrate, and 0.01 ppm for Phosphate, or within 5% of the total reading for either, whichever is higher.

Convenient and clean, the Trident NP is self contained and when running the basic testing regimen only requires a reagent change once every two months.

Take Your Aquarium Success to the Next Level

When you start receiving regular data from the Trident you will be amazed at the things you can see happening. For example you may notice the impact that the daily light cycle has on calcium carbonate uptake. You may realize that a salinity drop is occurring by watching your magnesium levels. You may even be better able to align calcium dosing with its use in the aquarium. This increased understanding ultimately helps you maintain a better, more successful reef.

Automate Your Dosing with Trident and DŌS

DOS QuietDrive

The more stable your aquarium levels, the better your corals will grow and thrive. Your tank however is continually evolving and the need for different additives and buffers can change rapidly, and may leave your dosing out of sync.

The Trident, when paired up with one or more of our DŌS systems solves this problem with Automatic Dosing Control (ADC). ADC will take results from the Trident and use them to gradually adjust what the DŌS delivers. Safeguards protect your aquarium from errors in the readings by measuring change against dosing, and dosing will only adjust +/-35% per adjustment, Failure to log change will shut down the auto tune, notify you and revert to original dosing levels
