Finally my trident arrived at my local fish store, Aquatica in Tinley Park IL. I have purchased probably 90% of my equipment, fish, corals etc. Mario , the owner and staff are very knowledgeable and helped me many times. Aquatica is a stocking Neptune dealer.
Now the good news, the trident is already up and running. It took about 20 minutes to set up. I am really pleased with the ease of installation, very well thought out. The only problem I had was that suction line clip would not open wide enough because of width of sump lip. I heated and bent a 3/8" piece of acrylic tubing, held it in place with my probe holder and ran suction line through it. Tubing keeps it place and stops suction line moving around in current through sump.

Nice work on the sample line holder.
We tried all kinds of ad hoc things during the first phase of beta testing, before we got the orange clips.
Here's what I was using at first:
