A key ingredient to a great reef aquarium is maintaining proper levels of Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium.
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.

“The trident is as Important to my system as the return pump.” Richard Ross, MASNA Aquarist Of The Year 2014
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES:
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
