Trident says waste full.

[Reef Devils]

I have had my trident for a week now and the waste cup is full. I dumped it out and when I go to the app it says - waste full no test in 24 hours. How do I resume the testing?

Thanks

Are you using the task function when you empty the waste container? What size of container have you sat your apex up with?

I just reset it through the task function. Thanks

My waste container is only 400ml. I am going to get a gallon jug today for it.

Also does the trident have to test 4 times a day? That seems like a lot and I will have to change the reagents out more often.

How much tank wanted does it use when testing?

There is a way to write a new code so it only tests 1 time a day.. there’s a thread around here about it if you’re handy like that! I just buy abc reagents since there much cheaper and let it do its thing. It’s like $46 or something for a 6 month supply.

Like a charm lol… everybody I know uses it including myself for the last year.

Do you just refill the reagent bottles from Neptune to make it fit in the Trident?

I was wondering the same thing!

Yep just use your old Neptune bottles. Can be hard to get sometimes as they sell out and don’t deliver everywhere. I have a heck of a time getting things up here in Alaska idk if it’s better or worse than the UK.

I will definetly give it a go!

As for calibration, what do you do? I have a good stash of the Apex calibration liquids, I assume I can just use that?

 

[OctaviusBrine]

Also it does not come with calibration fluid. However I always just test my water 3 times with my Hannah testers combine the three for an average and use my own water to calibrate.

You beat me to it lol. You can use that as well.

So this place makes the same exact reagents for a great deal? Almost sounds too good to be true!

Just goes to show you how much we get ripped off.

I have been using ABC reagents for about a year and a half now, and I don’t see any difference between them and the ones from Neptune Systems.
