By eliminating manual testing, it provides consistent, high-frequency data to help identify trends, detect issues early, and maintain long-term system stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trident connects directly to a compatible Neptune Systems Apex controller and logs all results in Apex Fusion, where data can be visualized, analyzed, and used to trigger alerts or automated responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trident uses automated titration and an internal colorimeter to replicate traditional test kit chemistry with far greater precision. On a scheduled basis, the unit draws a water sample, mixes it with reagent, and measures the resulting color change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter testing, the sample and reagent are expelled to a waste container, and the results are recorded automatically. This process repeats based on your configured testing schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApex Integration \u0026amp; Alerts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll test results are displayed within Apex Fusion, where values are tracked over time. Alerts can be configured to notify you if alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium fall outside safe ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond notifications, Trident data can trigger automated system responses such as adjusting dosing, pausing equipment, or activating safeguards to protect your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Dosing Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with a Neptune Systems DŌS or DŌS QuietDrive pump, the Trident enables Automatic Dosing Control (ADC). This feature adjusts dosing based on real-time test results while maintaining built-in safety limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDosing adjustments limited to ±35% per change\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSystem safeguards detect abnormal behavior and revert to safe settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward. The Trident connects to the Apex system via a single cable, uses tubing for sample intake and waste output, and is configured through guided steps in Apex Fusion. No manual calibration or reagent mixing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is compact and quiet enough for installation inside most aquarium cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Apex Controllers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA3 Apex (Apex Pro, Apex, Apex Jr.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA2 Apex (Apex, Apex EL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*A3 Apex Jr. requires a 36W 24VDC power supply and Aquabus cable.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen 1Link port or 24V power supply with Aquabus cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeptune Systems DŌS or DŌS QuietDrive for automated dosing functionality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.9 cm x 31.5 cm x 12.4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlkalinity Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e ±0.05 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e ±15 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e ±15 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest Duration:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~7 minutes per test\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSample Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~8 mL per test\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Head Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e must be less than 1.2 m from water source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeptune Systems Trident ACM Tester\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-month supply of reagents (ABC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1Link Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack Sample Tubing (152 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear Waste Tubing (152 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36W Universal Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Neptune Systems","offers":[{"title":"ACM","offer_id":48264233779457,"sku":null,"price":3379.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/2592\/4245\/files\/257012b-neptunesystems-trident-acm-w-2-month-reagent-1.webp?v=1774094094","url":"https:\/\/reeflections.me\/products\/trident-acm","provider":"Reeflections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
