Does anyone know of an automatic tester like the Trident that will test PO4 and NO3? I heard rumor that the Trident 2.0 was going to introduce that but again that was just a rumor. I have the Trident and love it but honestly the only thing I really care about testing daily is ALK, PO4, and NO3.

Ion director will test no3 in addition to a few other parameters. Mastertronic was just released and it tests both No3 and Po4 among other things.

I haven’t heard much about a new Trident but my understanding is they’re focusing on a light for right now. Of course, that doesn’t mean a new Trident isn’t in the works as well

GHL announced today that they are extending the beta test of their Ion Director through March 21. But it automatically measures and controls Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium and Nitrate levels in saltwater aquariums.

No way! I legit just bought a whole apex setup cause I thought GHL was lacking.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the Ion Director will only be able to test alk once a day and it can’t be used to dose alk. The kicker though is that there are no reagents needed for any of the tests!

The limit on alk testing was with the mastertronic, they want you to buy both the alkatronic and the mastertronic
