Apex TRIDENT (Alk, Cal, Mag) Automatic Water Tester (With 6 Month Reagents) – Neptune Systems

Description

(Includes 6 Months of Reagents)rThe Trident is an automated testing system that regularly tests alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium in your saltwater aquariumand 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.rrrrHIGHLIGHTED FEATURES:rrAutomatically tests seawater for Alkalinity, Calcium, and MagnesiumrUp to 24 Alkalinity tests per day with +/-.05 dKh precisionrUp to 12 Calcium tests per day with +/-15 ppm precisionrUp to 12 Magnesium tests per day with +/-15 ppm precisionr~7.9ml sample water used per parameter testedr~7 minutes testing time per parameter testedrUp to one month of testing before reagents need changing based on base level testing of 4-Alk, 2-Ca, 2-Mg per day.rWhen combined with DS system (available separately), the data from Trident can be used to automatically raise or lower the amount of additives dosed as necessary to maintain stability at user set point.rrrrrrFINALLY, TOSS ALL THOSE TEST KITS!rSyringes, vials, colors, endpoints, expiration datesnow a thing of the past for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium. Now, with zero effort, you get up to date values for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesiumanywhere in the world!rrrrHOW IT WORKSrThe Trident is a self contained automatic titration colorimeter. Thats quite a mouthful, for sure, so lets state it as simply as we can. The Trident is basically automating what you (and top scientists) do already when you test your water, that is, perform a color changing titration and interpret the results.rOn 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.rREQUIRES:rrApex or ApexEL (not Apex Classic, Lite, or Jr.)rAvailable 1Link port OR 24v power supply and Aquabus Cable (available separately)rExternal waste container or drainrMust be located within 4 of water source to be testedrrrrrEASY PLUG AND PLAY SET UPrFrom the box to testing in under 15 minutes! Unlike other testing systems, there are no reagents to mix, tubes to cut, or pumps or probes to calibrate. Simply plug in one cable, two tubes, and run the setup task on the Apex Fusion mobile appit holds your hand through the installation with helpful videos along the way.rrCONSISTENCY AND PRECISION, TEST AFTER TESTrThe Trident tests with a precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for Alkalinity and 15ppm for Calcium and Magnesium. This is better than humans can do consistently with every hobby-grade test kit on the market.rrUNDERSTAND YOUR AQUARIUM LIKE NEVER BEFORErWhen 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.rrOUT OF RANGE ACTIONS AND ALERTSrYou can set up your Apex to alert you, or take immediate action(s) when a parameter falls outside of the safe zone you specify. As just one example, you might be dosing an Alkalinity solution and a misconfiguration could lead to overdosing of your tank. The Trident will catch that, alert you, and give you more time to make that correction before its too late and to save your aquarium. 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.rrAUTOMATIC DOSING CONTROLULTIMATE STABILITYrThe 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.rThe Trident, when paired up with one or more of our DS systems solves this problem with Automatic Dosing Control (ADC)rWhen configured on the Apex, ADC will take the results it receives from the Trident and use them to gradually turn up or down the amount of additive your DS delivers. But, dont worry, we have built this feature with safety in mind. With ADC you set your target value and your starting dosing amount and ADC will only tune that dosing level +/-35%. If it takes more than that amount of dosing to keep your aquarium at your target value, then the Apex will stop”,”subjectOf”:[{“@type”:”CreativeWork”,”video”: {“@id”: “VideoObject_oEhanHluOO0”}}] }
