Neptune Apex Trident - Marine Aquarium CA, KH & MG Analyzer

Neptune Apex Trident – Automated CA, KH & MG Testing for Serious Reefers. Reagents not included.

Take your reef monitoring to the next level with the Neptune Apex Trident — an automated titration colorimeter designed to test Calcium, Alkalinity (KH), and Magnesium with laboratory-level consistency. Available at Reef Supplies Canada, this powerful analyzer eliminates manual testing guesswork and delivers precise, repeatable results directly to your Apex dashboard. (Reagents not included.)

WHAT IS THE TRIDENT?

The Trident automates the same color-change titration process you already use in hobby test kits — but with machine precision.

On a programmed schedule, the Trident:

• Draws a small sample of aquarium water

• Mixes it with precise amounts of reagent

• Detects the exact color shift using an electronic colorimeter

• Calculates the result

• Logs the data directly into your Apex system

• Sends the used sample to a waste container

No more manual interpretation. No more inconsistent readings. Just accurate data — test after test.

FAST, TRUE PLUG-AND-PLAY SETUP

From unboxing to testing in under 15 minutes.

• No reagent mixing

• No tubing cutting

• No pump calibration

• No probe calibration

Connect one cable, two tubes, and follow the guided setup in Apex Fusion. It’s that simple.

LAB-GRADE PRECISION

• Alkalinity: ±0.05 dKH

• Calcium & Magnesium: ±15 ppm

This level of consistency exceeds what most hobbyists can achieve with manual test kits.

SEE WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING IN YOUR REEF

With consistent automated data, you’ll start noticing patterns like:

• Daily calcium carbonate consumption swings

• Subtle salinity changes reflected in magnesium

• Dosing inconsistencies before they become problems

This insight allows you to run a more stable, successful reef system.

ALERTS & AUTOMATED PROTECTION

Set safe parameter ranges inside Apex and:

• Receive instant alerts if values drift

• Automatically trigger corrective actions

• Prevent overdosing events

• Protect livestock before damage occurs

The Trident can even control other Apex-connected devices like dosers or solenoids for added safety.

AUTOMATIC DOSING CONTROL (ADC)

Pair the Trident with a DŌS system and unlock true automated stability.

ADC allows Apex to:

• Adjust dosing levels based on test results

• Tune dosing within ±35% of your baseline

• Revert safely and alert you if major adjustments are needed

You can use ADC for:

• Alkalinity

• Calcium

• Magnesium

• Or even control multiple additives from a single test parameter (e.g., Triton systems)

Stable chemistry = healthier, faster coral growth.

SIMPLE REAGENT MAINTENANCE

With the default schedule (4 Alk / 2 Ca / 2 Mg tests daily):

• Reagents last approximately one month
