Neptune Systems Trident NP – Nitrate and Phosphate Water Analyzer
Imagine a world where manual nitrate and phosphate tests are no longer a part of your aquarium maintenance routine. Now you do not have to imagine! The Trident NP is the latest innovation from Neptune Systems, crafted 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 provides consistent, automated measurement of nitrate and phosphate levels in your aquarium, allowing you to 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 in your aquarium so that you can make informed decisions or automate actions to keep your system stable.
The key ingredient to a great reef aquarium is consistent levels and controlled biologicals. With Trident testers regularly checking alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium (Trident) as well as phosphate and 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 enhance stability and consistency. When combined with the DOS QD dosing pump (available separately), you can fully automate the dosing of supplements and additives for improved water parameter management.
Features
- Quiet Operation: The Trident operates quietly. If you listen closely in a quiet room, you might just hear your Trident running a test.
- Understand Your Aquarium: Regular testing and data will provide you with insights into your aquarium that will help you maintain a better, more successful reef.
- Cost: Low Per Test Cost: Reagents are available in 2 and 6 month packs. Each reagent pack provides 60 tests for NP and 240 tests for Trident.
- Precision: Consistent and Precise: Proven testing consistency and accuracy exceeding results achievable with equivalent manual aquarium test kits.
Easy Plug and Play Setup: From unboxing 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: Enjoy 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 outside the specified range.
Automated Dosing Control: Combine Trident with DOS Quiet Drive (sold separately), and your Apex will utilize Trident’s data to automatically and safely adjust 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 MONTHS REAGENT SUPPLY STORES NEATLY INSIDE: Convenient and tidy, 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, which 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 directed to a waste container.
