 Introducing the Neptune Systems Trident 2 NP: Revolutionizing Aquarium Water Testing and Control

Are you tired of the hassle of manual water testing in your aquarium? Say hello to the Neptune Systems Trident 2 NP – the cutting-edge solution that will now be in a head to head battle in the automated saltwater aquarium water testing arena. In this article, we'll look into the new features the Trident NP offers, how it works, and its integration with the Neptune Apex platform.

For aquarists, maintaining optimal water parameters is crucial for the health and well-being of their reef aquariums and Neptune System's goal has been to make the reefing hobby more enjoyable and less burdensome. Traditionally, water testing involved tedious manual testing using multiple test kits and reagents, often leading to inconsistency and frustration. However, with the introduction of the Neptune Systems Trident NP and other products like it, water testing has evolved into a much more automated process. 

What is the Neptune Systems Trident 2 NP?

The Trident 2 NP is an advanced aquarium water tester that combines precision technology with user-friendly functionality. Designed by Neptune Systems, one of the pioneers in the aquarium controller market, the Trident NP streamlines the testing process, providing accurate results in near real-time. This innovative device is a game-changer for aquarists looking to simplify their maintenance routines while ensuring optimal conditions for their fish, corals, and invertebrates.

How Does the Trident NP Work?

At the heart of the Trident NP is a sophisticated combination of sensors and reagents that automate the testing of key water parameters. These include alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium – essential elements for coral growth and overall aquarium health. The Trident NP utilizes a colorimetric method, where precise measurements are taken based on the color changes produced by chemical reactions with the water sample.

The device operates seamlessly with the Neptune Apex aquarium controller, leveraging its connectivity and intelligence to provide automated dosing of additives as needed. This integration ensures that water parameters are continuously monitored and adjusted, maintaining stability and promoting optimal conditions for aquatic life.

Key Features of the Trident NP:

  • Automated Testing: The Trident NP eliminates the need for manual water testing, saving time and reducing human error.

  • Real-time Monitoring: Receive instant updates on your aquarium's water parameters, allowing for timely intervention if adjustments are required.

  • Additive Dosing: Integrated with the Neptune Apex controller, the Trident NP can automatically dose additives to maintain optimal water chemistry.

  • Seamless Integration: Works harmoniously with the Neptune Apex platform, enhancing the overall automation and control of your aquarium system.

Test Parameters:

The Standard Trident performed tests for the following key parameters:

Standard Trident

  1. Alkalinity: Essential for pH stability and coral skeletal growth.
  2. Calcium: Crucial for coral skeletal structure and overall health.
  3. Magnesium: Plays a vital role in coral calcification and overall aquarium stability.

Trident 2 NP

 

  1. Nitrate: The new Trident NP tests for Nitrate (NO3)
  2. Phosphate: The new Trident NP tests for Nitrate (PO4)

Integration with Neptune Apex:

The Trident 2NP seamlessly integrates with the Neptune Apex ecosystem, offering enhanced functionality and control. Through the Apex Fusion interface (free app), users can monitor water parameters, receive alerts, and adjust dosing schedules from anywhere with an internet connection. This level of connectivity empowers aquarists to manage their aquariums with ease, whether they're at home or on the go.

What Else is Required?

To utilize the Trident NP effectively, users will need the following:

  1. Neptune Apex Controller: The Trident NP is designed to work in conjunction with the Neptune Apex aquarium controller platform for full automation and control.

  2. Reagent Packs: The Trident NP requires specific reagent packs for conducting tests. These packs are readily available and easy to replace when needed.

The Trident 2 MP is expected to be available by May of 2024. If you are interested in getting on our pre-order list then please give us a call so you can be one of the first to receive a product; a product that is probably going to be allocated and hard to get for the 1st few months.
