So my trident after a month or my trident started to fail test. I tried everything I could think of. Made sure the reagents were full and made sure the feed line was ok. Now because I run a tank without filter socks there’s a fair bit of debris in my water and the area I was drawing water from has some micro bubbles as well so I moved it to a different location in my sump and sure enough it started testing without failing again. So, I figured i would take it to the next level and provide my trident with the cleanest possible water I could. So last night I hucklebucked a filter using a filter that was on a denitrator I had laying around. I feed that water into a water bottle and put the intake for the trident into it. Since doing this my test have become much more stable in that my results from test to test don’t jump all over the place like it was before. So if any of you are having issues with your trident I’d try something like this. This is better than having a filter on the end of the tridents intake because there’s no worry about it testing water that was trapped in the filter because the bottle is contstantly being refilled with fresh clean bubble free tank water
