Any idea when Neptune is going to catch up? This is getting pretty ridiculous. It's been 8 months and they're still some sort of Unicorn.

I saw one locally at a store in Massachusetts called Love the Reef , I am sure if you contact owner he can ship the Trident. I was there Thursday buying a used tank and he had some in stock

Thanks , I am excited , I just couldn't pass it up. I know it is a custom tank , not sure who built it. It even has the three bulk heads and two return heads as well.

Was my first time at that store , it was very organized and owner was very nice.

My understanding is that the Trident's are still built by hand in Neptune's California shop and calibrated one by one before shipment. The demand is still so high that the shipments quickly sell out. They are not mass produced in a Chinese factory.

That is actually great though because shows quality in workmanship

We will all eventually get our hands on one. Just don’t support the price gouging people. Can’t stand looking around and finding them on eBay for $1200 it’s crazy

You have to be willing to buy immediately. So many people posting them in stock weekly now. These machines are each hand calibrated so it takes time. When you see someone post that they are in stock then you need to buy right then within 10 minutes or less because they are being updated as in stock on social media hourly.

They're becoming increasingly easy to get a hold of. While we are often out of stock, we're getting weekly shipments and they're now taking a number of hours to sell out. As a matter of fact, we just got our latest shipment of Tridents up on the website!

Well, I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I get notified by R2R on replies to posts quicker than the BRS "back in stock" emails. GOT ONE!!!!!!
