How old is the tank, what is the alk demand like? Is the tank in a humidity stable environment? Fresh air supply? Clam heavy? Acro heavy?its 50/50 on it some swear by it others dont i like the fact that it has controlled dosing i was thinking calcium reactor but dont understand it at all researched everywhere and still dont understand figured the trident would help
Is there a cheaper version of it or is Neptune the only one right now? I’m guessing which is why they charge so much no competition
I have been looking at getting the trident. So I can get away with buying the 600 setup vs the 1700 setup? I want to go more automated so I’m not having to test every week per say. An manual dosing.So I'll add a little more to my post above and add some options in case it's of any use.
-If you have an Apex, or are planning to get one, then I'd suggest a Trident, OR if you can find one , and only care about KH, then a KH Guardian pro would likely fit the bill (get the adapter for it to connect to your Apex. (As noted above, I have the Trident, use it and am happy with it, but if I didn't have it, I'd get the KH Guardian)
-If you have, or are considering a GHL Profilux, then the KH Director will measure KH and you'd need to add the Ion Director for Ca, Mg, K, and NO3. (I've had the GHL Profilux in a couple of different versions, but only used the KH Director, not the Ion Director, it worked well and I have no complaints)
If you're fiyin' stand-alone and don't want a controller, then I'd suggest either the KH Guardian or the Alkatronic. I have no first-hand experience with either, but I have friends who have both and love them.
As far as it being expensive, well that's relative. Compared to the other options, it's right in line with some and less than others. The kicker is having to use the Apex controller, which if you already have one, it's not an issue, but if you need to buy the controller and the Trident, then it's likely to require a bit more thought on what you're long term plans are, your budget, and really, just what you like better.
Assuming you don't have, or want/plan to get an Apex or GHL controller, you can get a stand-alone, automated KH tester. I had done some research on the KH Guardian in the past, and have several friends who use it to test for KH and control their Calc reactors.I have been looking at getting the trident.
