BTW I assume you secured the intake line at a secondary point on that top board? You would not want that line to come off the Trident and then drop to the ground behind the Aquarium.

No I actually don’t have it secured. There would be no way line will come off. That line is never pressurized so won’t blow off. Only has suction. I do see your point but that is being little paranoid for a suction only line imo

Assuming your input line is always full and maybe a couple of inches below the waters surface it could drop off and start a siphon on the ground. If your away for 10 hours that is a flood on the floor and your ATO will happily keep her full while the salinity drops.

I just watched a relatively new Melevsreef video, and it showed a sample line filter as part of the unboxing. I wonder if I can contact Neptune to ask them for one…

The filter comes in the maintenance kit that you can buy from neptunes. Not sure if they offer it separate
We have a product that's in our Early Access catalog and is currently in late stages of beta testing
it's a pre-filter for the trident or any other device that draws water from the sump area.
it includes a cleanable or replaceable 255 micron nylon screen and will connect to the 1mm hose of the trident or 1/4in RO line.

I have personally been running this filter for about 8 months with no issues or clogs, and I have it in the dirtiest area of my sump. We also have a good number of beta testers running it , so far, everyone loves it.

This just got released - the SWF-POD is the ideal way to pre-filter sample water going to the Trident, or any automated water testing device do that matter. it has the ability to connect to pretty much all the common hose sizes between 1/4in O.D. and 1mm I.D.
