Trident FAQ

[rkpetersen]

Gonna be some happy R2R members this week! Chime in if you got the good news.

Yes indeed! Thank you and also to Russ and everyone at Neptune. Looking forward to installing and testing it on an RSR 450 mixed reef. (There's a place reserved for it.)

Keep checking my email and was excited when I saw a Neptune email deep in my spam folder but it was a customer experience survey (which I responded to right away of course)

As a newer Neptune user I think it would be a really smart move to let someone with 10+ reefing years but only a few months of controller experience have at go at this Trident. I promise to order a DOS and DDR and more Neptune gear as soon as I get the email confirming Im in the "TRIDENT EXPERIENCE"! pinky promise too.....


HAHAHA, If not Ill be ordering as soon as they are available and all y'all with the early access better be ready for some questions!

Or.....someone like me who has 25+ years experience AND has used Neptune products since the Aquacontroller III, AND already has a DOS and DDR.

Oh i got a dos tooo....lol and my spam folder is as empty as my bank roll....

Oh oh oh pick me...oh oh pick me....lol

I'm curious - how many of you knew you were "new" NSI testers before you received the Trident email? That whole NSI application thing was frustrating as it didn't even work at first, then when it did work, most of us submitted very pared down versions of our original application, and finally - radio silence after that.

how can one attempt to be an nsi

There is a pretty large group of people j the NSI team and you don't get selected for all of the products or updates. They select based on a lot of criteria like what apex gear you already have, types or systems you have etc. Don't be discouraged if you don't get selected for something because you might just get selected for the next thing and some of the others will be the ones in the side lines.

At the moment, you cannot.

Well my question was more around if you knew your NSI application from last year was accepted prior to receiving the Trident acceptance email

 

[Krazie4Acans]

The submissions are closed now. You have to wait for the next open enrollment window and submit an application to possibly get selected.

 

[Krazie4Acans]

I knew because I had been included in another NSI project prior to trident. I'm not sure you would know any other way than to receive an invitation to participate in one of the tests.

 

[mitch91175]

Well guess if they open again and I see availability, I'll give it a shot to see if NSI is in my future. Would be awesome to compare the readings I get from my Alkatronic for dKH. Maybe someone out there that is already an NSI invitee also has an Alkatronic and can one day (when can) post a comparison of the units.

What might not help me is I don't think I had my DOS when I filled out the NSI application. I don't know if that is a criteria though.

The way NSI applications work is that you send in your application, and it gets put in a database. When a project comes up, they look through that database and select from it.

After you offer your sacrifice to the trident gods

 

[dcmartinpc]

Is a sacrifice all it takes?!?

In that case!!!

 

[Chris155hp]

I assuming current NSI testers can’t say much about the unit itself due to NDA but can anyone chime in on how the daily consumption fluctuates throughout the day? I know @Terence mentioned that consumption isn’t linear. It would also be interesting to see if the Trends are similar across different tanks or do they all follow the same pattern

 

[Terence]

Here is the last few days. I changed my reactor a bit on both pH and flow rate to get a slow rise up. You can see the rise and the intra-daily fluctuation - and of course addition from the CaRx is static so this is indicative of consumption change and ramp up and ramp down slightly delayed from the light cycle.

T that looks like a .05 Dkh swing?
Thats not too crazy
Thanks for that!
