TRIDENT - Marine Aquarium Water Analyzer
TRIDENT NP - Nitrate & Phosphate Tester
Imagine a world where manual nitrate and phosphate tests are no longer apart of your aquarium maintenance routine. Now you don't have to imagine! The Trident NP is the latest innovation from Neptune Systems, designed to automate Nitrate and Phosphate testing with precision and ease. Building on the trusted reputation of the original Trident, the Trident NP offers high-frequency testing to ensure optimal water quality in your aquarium. With seamless integration into the A2 and A3 Series Apex Controllers, the Trident NP brings consistent, automated measurement of nitrate and phosphate levels inside your aquarium so that you can make better decisions or even automate actions to maintain stability in your system.
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.
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.
Features
- Quiet Operation
Trident is Quiet. If you listen really carefully in a quiet room you might just hear your Trident running a test.
- 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.
Cost
- Low Per Test Cost
Reagents available in 2 and 6 month (US) 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.
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.
- AUTOMATED TESTING OF NITRATES AND PHOSPHATES
Using an automated titration method , with colorimetric identification, the Trident automatically tests your aquarium water for Nitrates and Phosphates once a day.
- INCREDIBLE PRECISION
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.
- TWO MONTH'S REAGENT SUPPLY STORES NEATLY INSIDE
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 .
- ONLY USES 30ML OF TANK WATER PER TEST
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 NP, 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.
