The idea is to be able to quickly see some trending on a single tile without polluting up the dashboard. The points on the graph can be touched to see the data points and a click will send you to the detailed graph. The data in these mini graphs is auto scaled.

Things are going well in NSI. The beauty of the Trident is how “Ron Popeil” it is!

I personally have already diagnosed issues and used the Trident to watch dosing rise on @revhtree tank as he was not dosing enough in his tank.

We are making good progress so far. Keep being patient - it will be ready when it’s ready :)

Ready soon or ready when it’s ready?

If you want a honest review you’re going to get it. So far so good! I followed the set up and it was super easy even for someone like me! Ha!

I was chosen to be a tester and looking at my ALK level at various times of the day has been awesome. Also just a little touch of the button and I get an instant test.

As @Terence said I granted him the rights to view and program my Apex so he was able to spot some issues with my Alk and we set up a new dosing schedule within my DOS which has slowly bumped my Alk levels up within a better range. So far it’s really been amazing. I’m careful with my words since I own R2R but I honestly can’t use another word. It’s game changing for me personally.

This is awesome to know! Definitely glad I have waited on this!!!

I don’t know about you guys but I’m good on the results I’ve seen. Time to green light the release. :)

His corals are amazing! Yeah I agree with him. If the Trident tested ALK, N03 and P04 I would be all over it!

That's what I really need is something to test PO4 and NO3 for sure. Heck even if it just tested PO4 I can live without testing NO3 for sure. For growth in my tank, I get way less consumption if my PO4 is higher than I would like, but when it is below 0.1, I get a good amount of dKH consumption.

Other than the ReefBot, whenever someone makes an automated hobby grade tester for PO4, I might have to donate a kidney to be sure to get it, lol. Would be even more amazing to somehow help do something to decrease it based on the measurements; whether it somehow via GFO, etc.

Keep an eye on their FB page. They usually make announcements there. Or you can go to their forums in the announcements section.

Send Terrance a couple bottles of Opus One. I'm not really sure how to become NSI, but that surely wouldn't hurt!

boltzfan · Feb 7, 2019

Thanks all. Terrance, Opus one for a Trident??

bad trade! haut brion maybe...

So my ALK was low and with all good intentions I meant to test every night and adjust my 2 part dosing to get it to an acceptable level. But you know how it goes. Good intentions don't always equal action! The Trident has taken the work out of this type of task and now I'm excited to log in and see how it's rising. I'm almost to the sweet spot now as you can see. Once I get where I want to be and if it continues to rise a little I will dial the dosing back down a little to get it to equal out! Once my sps start taking in more ALK I will notice the drop and adjust accordingly. REEF KEEPING FOR DUMMIES!!! HA!

PS. I'm not a hype machine. I get companies that want to send me stuff to test out etc. If it's something deserving of me bragging on, I will. So far the Trident is the real deal.
