Trident NP by Neptune Systems Leaked Photo

Its that time of year again! The reef-aquarium show circuit is about to start so the product announcements are coming!

I came across a photo of the Apex Trident NP, soon to be announced by Neptune Systems - here are my first thoughts.

Automated Nitrate and Phosphate is being sought after by power users today, my opinion is different but its here. Neptune is

First thoughts

• It’s the same design as the current Trident - I’m not a big fan, I think there is a lot of wasted space in the Trident. This design is not stackable or saves any space at all.

  • From a manufacturing perspective, they could have just re-used the same mold (at least that’s what someone I consider smarter than me said)

• It is a self-contained unit with the reagents and pumps all in the same enclosement vs the recently announced Hydros Maven.

• Notice in the highlighted area of the photo they mention the DOSQD? - This means that the next version of the DOS will be announced soon and will be using Ecotech’s Quiet Drive technology which I’m a big fan of (The DOS is too lound)

• Slightly darker color to differentiate between units.

• 7 pounds - I just weighed my current Trident without the reagents and it comes in at just over 4 pounds. The 7 pounds could be the box shipping weight including reagents

• Will be released in Q2 2024
