Neptune Systems Trident with 2-Month Reagent Kit

A Complete Testing Solution with the Neptune Systems Trident 2-Month Reagent Kit Combo

The Neptune Systems Trident with 2-Month Reagent Kit combo combines the Trident Water Analyzer and a 2-month reagent pack in one ready-to-run package. This bundle provides fresh reagents and automated testing instead of sourcing parts, keeping reef stability on track with less effort.

Developed by Neptune Systems, this pairing suits reef keepers who prefer reliable data without daily testing routines.

Why Pair the Neptune Systems Trident with a Reagent Kit

The Neptune Systems Trident works best when testing never pauses, and this combo ensures uninterrupted operation right away. Additionally, the included reagents match the Trident’s default testing schedule for predictable replacement timing.

• Approximately two months of testing at default settings

• No reagent mixing or calibration steps

• Bottles drop directly into the Trident holder

• Designed for fast swaps that take only minutes

As a result, testing stays consistent while maintenance stays minimal.

What the Neptune Systems Trident Monitors Daily

The Neptune Systems Trident automatically measures three core reef parameters that drive coral health and growth. Therefore, changes appear quickly instead of weeks later.

• Alkalinity testing up to four times daily

• Calcium testing twice daily

• Magnesium testing twice daily

Under the Automate and Monitor category, this analyzer fits alongside other tools designed to protect long-term aquarium stability.

How Automated Testing Works Behind the Scenes

The Neptune Systems Trident uses automated titration paired with an internal colorimeter for repeatable accuracy. Next, a peristaltic pump pulls a small water sample, mixes it with reagent, and measures color changes precisely.

Afterward, the system sends waste to an external container and logs results automatically. Consequently, each test follows the same controlled process without human variation.

Seamless Apex Integration and Smart Alerts

When connected to a compatible Apex controller, the Neptune Systems Trident sends every result to Apex Fusion. From there, data graphs reveal trends while alerts notify users when values drift outside set ranges.

Moreover, these readings can trigger automated responses, such as pausing dosing or adjusting equipment output.

Automatic Dosing Control with Neptune DŌS

Paired with a Neptune Systems DŌS or DŌS QuietDrive, the Neptune Systems Trident supports Automatic Dosing Control. This feature gradually adjusts dosing output based on real testing data.

Built-in safeguards limit changes to ±35 percent per adjustment. If results fail to match expectations, the system disables tuning and restores original dosing levels.

Two-Month Reagent Kit Overview

This combo includes a reagent supply matched to the Trident’s default testing schedule. Therefore, users avoid early replacements or unexpected shortages.

Included reagents:

• Two bottles of Reagent A

• One bottle of Reagent B

• One bottle of Reagent C

• One seawater calibration sample

At default settings, the kit supports:

• 240 alkalinity tests

• 120 calcium tests

• 120 magnesium tests

Neptune Systems recommends keeping no more than a twelve-month reagent supply on hand.

Setup Designed for Cabinets, Not Headaches

Installation focuses on simplicity and clean routing. The Neptune Systems Trident connects through a single cable to an EB832 Power Bar and uses two tubing lines.

• One line for sample intake

• One line for waste output

Configuration runs through guided tasks in Apex Fusion. No manual calibration or probe tuning is required, and operation remains quiet inside most cabinets.

Compatible Apex Controllers and Requirements

Compatible controllers:

• A3 Apex, Apex Pro, Apex Jr.*

• A2 Apex, Apex EL

The A3 Apex Jr. requires a 36-watt 24-volt DC power supply and an Aquabus cable.
