I just put in stock notifications on 6 different websites so hopefully I can order reagent soon.

6 month kits are going to be tough if not impossible. If you want reagents you can get them today at Marine Depot. 2 month kit.
Stop trying to fight C-19 and the system. Just buy the two month kit and move on until the world works through this mess. Then shoot Neptune a message on Monday and see if they will tell you anything.
Really - this just needs to stop.
Not sure if that was directed at me or in general but I'm not trying to fight anything and I'm using the system the retailers put in place to let us know when stock comes in. Not sure why my comment appears to have ruffled your feathers.
No idea honestly - probably something I did I'm sure because looking back it doesn't make sense to me either. Sorry.
Only think i can think of is that you said you put in 6 different alert notifications Still, seems I came in a bit hot, yeah? Anyway was just saying 2 month kits are in stock at MD if you are interested. Ignore the rest
Hope you have an amazing day!
I hope whoever uses keep high end stuffs or they really works!$200/yr to operate, yikes!
That's not entirely what you would expect would happen. Their alkalinity competitors all have DIY methods for reagents, yet the OEM refills for those units have not dropped in price. If a DIY reagent came out for the Trident you would instead most likely have some statement about voiding warranty, or another boogeyman like that. They would most certainly not drop the reagent price, it's a perfect vendor lock into an ongoing cost with a lower front-end outlay. Pretty much inkjet printer business model 101, but with an ecosystem lock-in on top of that.
Also, what do you guys do with the remaining reagents in the bottle when the system says empty but you find a bit left in the bottle? Do you pour it into the new bottle?
Make sense. Is that what you are doing though?I don’t think that’s recommended for maximum accuracy. Especially for A, because the two bottles are matched from the same batch.
Contaminating one bottle of A with reagent from a different batch, and then calibrating, means you will not get the same results once you install the second bottle of A.
What you can do is reset the reagent levels (on fusion) once they read empty. Then you may get an additional week of testing until it
Errors out.

I see. Do you know how to display alk testing results in list view instead of graph so that I can count the test completed manually?I am not, because it would disrupt trident controlled dosing if reagent runs out.
I know that I'm just opening up a can of whoop-butt but here goes. Why not just get a calcium reactor. The initial cost is not that much more than a trident and when you factor in the cost of an apex and a Dos pump and dosing containers plus additives, a calcium reactor is a bargain.
Once the reactor is tuned in you test parameters maybe once a week.
The Trident has only been available for 14 or 15 months now. There are probably thousands of beautiful reef tanks older than 2 years started and maintained without a Trident. why have to test 4 times a day when you can make only minute adjustments a day.
Sorry for sabotaging initial post.
From my first initial bottle A since it was set up on July 28, 2020. I replaced it this morning. It looks like there is still 50 ml left of reagent in the bottle. The Neptune says there is still 5 test left estimated, but it is already stopped working and giving me empty reagent error.
@Terence this is such a waste and hoping Neptune can send a firmware update or something. It is also more environmentally friendly to minimize such a good amount of reagent waste.
the price point on these reagents is nuts. I absolutely hate it.
I wish somebody would reverse engineer the reagents and release them for "a different purpose" after all these are basically standard test and you can't patent that. my git give us some release. Reagents should be half the cost of what they are.
