Normal stray light should not be an issue. Super bright light pointed directly at the front might be.
In @Terence's defense, he has answered the vast majority of the really redundant questions repeatedly in this and other threads, and in other venues, such as their own website and livestreams on Facebook, Youtube, etc. Just because entitled people refuse to pay attention to any of that and repeatedly demand answers to their specific question despite having been pointed to those answers already given that doesn't mean that Terence or Neptune Systems is doing anything wrong.

If you go with trident controlled 2 part dosing with the DOS, and set alk and calcium to be all day , with alk being adjusted to more during daylight hours, will the system make sure alk and calcium are offset to not dose at the same time or do you have to do that manually somehow?
OP

No. Nothing will automatically offset one from the other.
If this is a major concern, the best bet is to place the tubes physically apart in your sump or manual stagger multiple dosing periods.

Hanging out in MN today Terence? Hand delivering any Tridents to New Wave? Was thinking of heading there at lunch to see if they had any word on when they might see a few more units. (Sorry for the off topic post)

In high light areas where we believe stray light might be a concern, would blacking out the smoke plastic with black electrical tape cause any foreseeable negative results?

SO, i have staggered dosing currently setup for Calc and Alk. If I setup controlled dosing with Trident, does that staggered dosing get overwritten? OR does it utilize what is already there?

It will use your existing intervals if you just turn on control for those intervals. If you use the "Trident controlled dosing" task then it will replace your intervals with either a single 24-hours interval (default), or with the Day/Night schedule consisting of three intervals if that option is selected while running the Task.
There was a recommendation that you not use too many intervals when using the Trident control. I believe the recommendation was around 4 intervals. So depending on how you have programmed the staggering you may still need to do some work on your intervals before choosing to use control.

Question:
I have a container that holds roughly 50g of premixed saltwater that I use for my AWCs. Is there a way in the future that Trident will have a secondary graph to track that container too? Not consistently like the tank but after I mix a fresh batch could I put the sample line in that container and run the tests. But not have these test recorded to my graph as if it was my display tank which could cause the DOS to turn on and dose 2 part if the new water parameters were slightly different than my tank.
Hope that made sense.

Thanks for the reply!! I’ll go with manual intervals for now.
Orange is pretty much idle.
Blue is testing/priming/etc
Haven’t seen other colors on mine as of yet.

When the Trident generates an Error code, the indicator LED turns red.
However, the difference between the normal orange LED and red error LED is fairly subtle, at least until you've seen it a couple of times.
The smoked grey translucent cover reduces the visible difference between red and orange.

Just got mine!
Is there anywhere that lists the LED indicators?
Awesome dude! Looking forward to a review. Guess it is time write a screen scraper to watch all the major sites. I have a feeling the email notifications have been disabled.
