Neptune Trident Testing System The Trident is an automated testing system that regularly tests alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium in your saltwater aquarium - and then communicates this information to your Apex so you can get alerts, and change your dosing. When combined with the DOS (available separately) it creates a fully automated system for the proper dosing of supplements, maintaining them at consistent levels. How the Neptune Trident Works The Trident is a self contained automatic titration colorimeter. That's quite a mouthful, for sure, so let's state it as simply as we can. The Trident is basically automating what you (and top scientists) do already when you test your water, that is, perform a color changing titration and interpret the results. On a scheduled basis the Trident carefully mixes its reagents with a small amount of sample water from your aquarium. While doing this, it is measuring (titrating with a precision peristaltic pump) the amounts of each that are necessary to reach an expected color change (determined by the electronic colorimeter). When it finishes the titration, it sends this sample/reagent fluid to your waste container. It then interprets the results of that test and logs the value into your Apex.Easy Plug and Play Set-upFrom the box to testing in under 15 minutes! Unlike other testing systems, there are no reagents to mix, tubes to cut, or pumps or probes to calibrate. Simply plug in one cable, two tubes, and run the setup task on the Apex Fusion mobile app - it holds your hand through the installation with helpful videos along the way.Consistency and Precision, Test after TestThe Trident tests with a precision of +/- 0.05 dKh for Alkalinity and 15ppm for Calcium and Magnesium. This is better than humans can do consistently with every hobby-grade test kit on the market.Understand Your Aquarium Like Never BeforeWhen you start getting the regular data coming in from the Trident you will be amazed at the things you can see happening. The daily light cycle swing on calcium carbonate uptake. A salinity drop by watching magnesium. An out of sync dosing of calcium. This increased understanding ultimately helps you maintain a better, more successful reef.Out of Range Actions and AlertsYou can set up your Apex to alert you, or take immediate action(s) when a parameter falls outside of the safe zone you specify. As just one example, you might be dosing an Alkalinity solution and a misconfiguration could lead to overdosing of your tank. The Trident will catch that, alert you, and give you more time to make that correction before its too late and to save your aquarium. The data from the Trident can also be used to turn on and off other devices (like dosers or solenoids) to protect your tank even more.Automatic Dosing and Control - Ultimate StabilityThe more stable you maintain proper levels of Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium, the better your corals will grow and thrive. But coral uptake of these supplements often changes and requires us not only to perform more testing, but also seems to put us in a never-ending state of adjusting our dosing levels.The Trident, when paired up with one or more of our DOS systems solves this problem with Automatic Dosing Control (ADC)When configured on the Apex, ADC will take the results it receives from the Trident and use them to gradually turn up or down the amount of additive your DOS delivers. But, don't worry, we have built this feature with safety in mind. With ADC you set your target value and your starting dosing amount and ADC will only tune that dosing level +/-35%. If it takes more than that amount of dosing to keep your aquarium at your target value, then the Apex will stop ADC, revert to your starting dosing amount, and alert you that you need to manually adjust your dosing level. Then, ADC can be re-enabled and it will continue to guide your DOS so that it keeps you as close to your target value as possible.It is possible to use ADC for all three tests - Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium. You can also use one test value to adjust up or down more than one additive delivered by the DOS (i.e. Triton system).Simple Infrequent Reagent ChangesWhen using the default testing schedule of four (4) alkalinity, two (2) calcium, and two (2) magnesium tests a day, the reagent stored inside the Apex will last a full month. And adding new reagent is super simple - just slide out the drawer, remove the old bottle(s), and replace them with new ones. If you desire, you can also run a calibration with the included calibration standard. Highlighted Features of the Neptune Trident Automatically tests seawater for Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium Up to 24 Alkalinity tests per day with +/-.05 dKh precision Up to 12 Calcium tests per day with +/-15 ppm precision Up to 12 Magnesium tests per day with +/-15 ppm precision ~7.9ml sample water used per parameter tested ~7 minutes testing time per parameter tested Up to one month of testing before reagents need changing based on base level testing of 4-Alk, 2-Ca, 2-Mg per day. When combined with DOS system (available separately), the data from Trident can be used to automatically raise or lower the amount of additives dosed as necessary to maintain stability at user set point.

Neptune Apex Energy Bar 832 (EB832) A great aquarium just got easier! Energy Bar 832 - The Ultimate Power Control Hub! This Energy Bar 832 was redesigned from the ground up. Not only does it have eight 120V AC outlets, but it includes an internal 100W 24VDC power supply as well. That power supply feeds three built-in 1LINK ports as well as two 24VDC accessory ports. Each individual outlet has power monitoring and there are individual LED indicators for each outlet. Read on and watch the videos for more info. Power Monitoring: For years we have been asked to do the power monitoring of the individual devices connected to each outlet - but it just wasn't possible without breaking your bank. Now it's here and with comes tons of benefits.For many the cost of the electricity to run a successful aquarium is a major concern in their household. Even for those where electricity is cheap, we believe most aquarists care a great deal about their energy consumption and its effect on the environment. Ironically, our energy usage could be directly connected to excess greenhouse gasses, the warming of the oceans, and the bleaching of the corals!However, armed with the right information we believe aquarists will not only be able to make operating and purchase decisions that will save them hundreds of dollars a year, but they will also be able to reduce their carbon footprint.
Built-In 1Link and 24VDC Ports: This Energy Bar has a built-in 100W, 24VDC power supply that can control up to three Neptune Systems 1LINK products like the WAV and DOS. It also includes two switchable 24V DC on/off outlets that are compatible with any 24V device under 30W and Neptune Systems 24V accessories like our Practical Multi-purpose Utility Pump (PMUP).
Individual Outlet Indicator LED: Each Energy Bar AC outlet as well as the two 24VDC accessory ports have their own status LED. This LED tells you when that outlet is energized. The LED will also blink rapidly if a device is plugged in that exceeds the current capability for that outlet.
Alarms and Decisions based on Power: Since the Apex is receiving continual power usage data from the Energy Bar 832, it can be configured to send you notifications when a device is not using power as it should be. An example would be a return pump showing no power consumption when the outlet is on or a skimmer whose power consumption will show differently when its airline is clogged when compared to normal operation. These high and low limits are completed customizable by individual outlet. You can even use this power data to control other devices.
All Outlets Relay Switched: Times have changed and it is fairly uncommon now for aquariums to have AC devices that must be cycled on and off continuously. This means that we could now switch all AC outlets to relay switching since there is no need to have soft start and there is no concern for the noise of the relay. Please note: The EB 832 is not backward compatible with the Classic Apex, or the Apex Junior controllers!
Neptune Apex FMM (Flow Monitoring Module) The FMM (Fluid Monitoring Module) from Neptune is a multi-purpose module that, with the help of various accessories, enables your Apex to do: Flow Monitoring Leak Detection Water Level Detection Power 24VDC accessories Future sensors Neptune Apex FMM Flow Sensors Return Pump: Measuring the flow of your aquarium's main return pump is an incredibly useful piece of information. The key benefit would be to have the Apex notify you the instant the flow stops for any reason - usually the result of a failed or faulty pump. Furthermore, an indication of a reduced flow rate could be used to determine that the pump or the lines are dirty or are becoming clogged with algae, debris, animals, or the growth of organisms inside your plumbing. Auxiliary pumps on reactors and the like: This is a very handy application for the FMM. Place a flow sensor on a device like a carbon/gfo/biopellet reactor and it serves many purposes. First off, you will know if your pump is not flowing correctly or failed altogether. Next, you can easily fine-tune the flow into the reactor by watching the dashboard tile on your Apex. Finally, you can know when the reactor is becoming clogged with detritus or possibly channeling has occurred by an alert on your Apex or by monitoring your dashboard.Put a flow sensor inline to your device, plug it in to the FMM, and see exactly the flow rate of the water (any aquarium fluid really) going through that sensor. The industrial-grade flow sensors use either a turbine or paddle- wheel mechanism (depending on the model) to measure the flow.It is important to note that the flow rate that will be reported back to you from the flow sensors will likely be far lower than you expect or what is printed on the pump label or documentation. This is due to head pressure loss from physical height differences, long runs, restrictions such as ball valves, fittings like elbows, tees, and reducers, and then finally the loc-line many use as the entry point into their tanks. As an example, a pump rated at 3200gph will likely be showing less than half that amount in nearly all applications. Four Ports: The FMK comes with three flow sensors but the FMM has a total of four ports. This means you have one port free to use for another purpose. Buy additional flow sensors (available also in 2" and 1/4" sizes) or choose from other options available and add even more functionality! All accessories are sold separately. If you wish, there are complete kits available (Neptune FMK) that will get you up and running with the most popular options.
Neptune Apex FMM Optical Sensor This sensor plugs into your FMM and, using reflected infrared light, will signal your Apex when it changes state from being wet to dry or dry to wet.This sensor can be used for constructing your own ATO (auto-top-off), as a high-level warning sensor in your sump, water storage level sensor, and much more.The sensors can be mounted into custom brackets or through a hole in a vessel.

Just one wire!This really cleans up the wiring mess under the aquarium since just one single power brick can power two WAV pumps AND the DOS.
Magnetic Optical Sensor for Neptune Apex The Neptune Magnetic Optical Sensor replaces the optical sensor with magnet and offers an improved look, feel, and magnetic design that also lends itself to help prevent water incursion into the sensor.The MOS plugs into your FMM and, using reflected infrared light, will signal your Apex when it changes state from being wet to dry or dry to wet. This sensor can be used for constructing your own ATO (auto-top-off), as a high-level warning sensor in your sump, water storage level sensor, and much more. The sensors can be mounted into custom brackets or through a hole in a vessel. Included with the Neptune MOS are a fastening nut and silicone washer.

Neptune Flow Monitoring Kit (FMK) Start monitoring the flow in your aquarium with the Neptune Systems FMK (Flow Monitoring Kit). FMM - FLUID MONITORING MODULE IT DOES SO MUCH! The FMM (Fluid Monitoring Module) is a multi- purpose module that, with the help of various accessories, enables your Apex to do: Flow Monitoring Leak Detection Water Level Detection Power 24VDC accessories Future sensors The FMK Flow Sensors Return Pump: Measuring the flow of your aquarium's main return pump is an incredibly useful piece of information. The key benefit would be to have the Apex notify you the instant the flow stops for any reason - usually the result of a failed or faulty pump. Furthermore, an indication of a reduced flow rate could be used to determine that the pump or the lines are dirty or are becoming clogged with algae, debris, animals, or the growth of organisms inside your plumbing. Auxiliary pumps on reactors and the like: This is a very handy application for the FMM. Place a flow sensor on a device like a carbon/gfo/biopellet reactor and it serves many purposes. First off, you will know if your pump is not flowing correctly or failed altogether. Next, you can easily fine-tune the flow into the reactor by watching the dashboard tile on your Apex. Finally, you can know when the reactor is becoming clogged with detritus or possibly channeling has occurred by an alert on your Apex or by monitoring your dashboard.Put a flow sensor inline to your device, plug it in to the FMM, and see exactly the flow rate of the water (any aquarium fluid really) going through that sensor. The industrial-grade flow sensors use either a turbine or paddle-wheel mechanism (depending on the model) to measure the flow.It is important to note that the flow rate that will be reported back to you from the flow sensors will likely be far lower than you expect or what is printed on the pump label or documentation. This is due to head pressure loss from physical height differences, long runs, restrictions such as ball valves, fittings like elbows, tees, and reducers, and then finally the loc-line many use as the entry point into their tanks. As an example, a pump rated at 3200gph will likely be showing less than half that amount in nearly all applications. Four Ports: The FMK comes with three flow sensors but the FMM has a total of four ports. This means you have one port free to use for another purpose. Buy additional flow sensors (available also in 2" and 1/4" sizes) or choose from other options available and add even more functionality! Each Netpune FMK includes the following items 1 - FMM (Fluid Monitoring Module) - is a module that connects to any Apex (Apex(2016), Apex Classic, Apex Lite, Apex Jr.) - via it's AquaBus port providing four multi-function monitoring ports that can be used for flow sensors, water-level sensors, leak detections sensors and possibly future products as well. 1 - 1" Flow Sensor - This flow sensor connects to the FMM, monitors the flow of water through the device, and then reports it back to your Apex via the FMM. This sensor is most often used to measure the flow in the main return line of a standard-sized aquarium. 2 - 1/2" Flow Sensors - This flow sensor connects to the FMM, monitors the flow of water through the device, and then reports it back to your Apex via the FMM. Two of these are included in the FMK. These sensors are perfect for attaching to devices such as media reactors, biopellet reactors, etc. 2 - 1" Unions - To connect your FS-100 Flow sensor, we have included in the FMK, two 1? BSPT -> 1? Slip PVC Unions. (North American markets only) 4 - 1/2" Adapters - To connect your two FS-50 Flow sensors, we have included in the FMK, two 1/2? BSPT -> 1/2? Slip PVC Adapters.(North American markets only)

PVC plumbing.The FS-50 will work with flow rates from 30-250 gph.
Neptune Leak Detection Kit (LDK) Aquarium leaks are one of the most feared events for even the most seasoned aquarist - and for good reason. When it comes to leaks, it's not just about whether you'll have one, but when it happens, will you catch it in time? Most often if you catch a leak in the early stages, when it is a simple drip, you prevent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in damage.The LDK includes everything you need to enable your Apex to detect leaks in two locations. Two additional leak detection probes can be purchased separately (4 total).When the LDK detects a leak, your Apex can sound an alarm, send an alert to your mobile device, or take other actions on your aquarium. The LDK provides the ultimate in disaster prevention for this all too common aquarium issue.The LDK includes the FMM - Fluid Monitoring Module that is plug-and-play and will work with any Apex. The FMM has four ports for use with the two included leak detection probes. The other two ports are then available to be used for more leak detection probes, flow sensors, or optical water level sensors. Features of the Neptune LDK Detects leaks on contact Instantly alerts you via your mobile device Monitor for leaks in up to four locations Includes two leak detection probes (surface type) Remaining two ports can be used for more leak detection probes or other optional sensors and accessories Installs in less than 5 minutes! No programming required!
Neptune Apex 1Link Module Neptune 1LINK - Easy, one-click installation! The WAV is the first of a line of aquarium products from Neptune Systems that will use a completely new interface. While many in the aquarium world continue to embrace wireless technologies for interconnectivity, we have decided to go the other direction - a wire.Wireless connectivity from your smartphone or tablet to your Apex (or other controller) is completely logical - and we embrace that. However, wireless used for the interconnecting of devices within the confines of common aquariums (that are mostly less than 6' long) is not only unnecessary, but it reduces reliability.Our philosophy is that when distances are measured in a few feet, wireless is a solution looking for a problem. And ironically, wireless really does not save wires. You still need to use a wire to get power to the devices anyway. And let's not forget configuration - wireless devices require syncing, endless button presses and arcane steps to get them to connect up - hopefully with you and not your neighbour.Finally for all this "benefit", you as the consumer get the added cost of this wireless technology that must be baked into the price of every device you buy. So after much study of the problem, our answer is 1LINK.It is called 1LINK because there is one power supply, one module (for up to three 1LINK devices), and a one-click-connection of a wire that carries not only the power for the device, but two-way communication from it to your Apex. Setup is simply click and go.Less wires, less configuration headaches, and best of all, less cost to you as a consumer!
