Any tips before I set it up that you wish you known?

A lot of people use the Apex / Trident combo to dose. Not sure why you would ask if anyone trusts it.

Neptune is open now. Just limited business hours and staffing due to the pandemic. Just received word / reply to an open ticket.

I asked if people trust it to make dos changes as I feel like that could become a issue and started dos to much or something

There are Safeties built into the system to reduce the risk there is a max that they can dose

I see. It will not. At a high level think of it as a fine tuning mechanism to help smooth out the curves if you have them. If it goes outside then it falls back to the "normal dosing amount" that you have configured.

See below.

Trident Controlled DŌS: Preface This guide will walk through setup of Trident controlled dosing using the Neptune Systems DŌS. Controlled dosing allows you to set desired levels for alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium, and have automatic control of those parameters. The best way to configure...

I have used it since the beginning.... Works like a champ. You can go in and tweak it to your liking. It really works great!

I think it is to risky to trust it...... I'll gladly take it of your hands for you. Haha

I see what you did there

I use trident controlled dosing and love it. Keeps alk within a .2dkh swing and calcium within 10ppm on average!

I was long in the camp of never dosing based on a test or probe reading, but I actually think the approach Neptune have taken is very well thought through and 99% safe.

Was that a rhetorical question? How could anybody know. I have six months of reagent on hand …. maybe it will be enough, maybe it won't.

My Digital Aquatics Archon seems to have died, as have Digital Aquatics.
I'm thinking of getting Neptune Apex system. Is this a good idea? Are there other controller systems out there?

 

[Cnelson93]

Ghl would be the other major option. Nothing wrong with apex though in my personal opinion, user interface is good and does everything I would need it to do.

i wouldn't half the stuff you buy doesnt work and its a huge pain in the butt the trident is good but would have just went with a reef bot and ghl makes good controllers I heard. The only feature I actually use is the power bar and thats to turn things on and off when im not home

Glad to hear the confidence in the Trident Auto Dosing... I was very weary in setting it up.. but looks like I might do it now
