i use apex for trident I give 10 minutes between switching to triton 1-2 but I do dose 3ab at same time this way i onky use one outlet on apex
you have part 1, 2,3a,3b you cannot just sose them all together at the same timeSorry what do you mean by switching between them? I thought Trident only does the testing?? My question is can we program the Apex to dose using DOS filled up with Triton dosing liquids base on Trident testing?

Can Trident control my dosing pump to keep everything stable?
Yes, when paired with one or many Neptune DOS, the Apex will use the Trident data to safely and intelligently adjust dosing based on recent test results.
Hi, I was looking at your system with some interest on my proposed 1800g build. But ive gone off the idea of cheato and refug as from my research at present it seems to be hit and miss, risk of over efficiency and too much nutrient removal (suppose it’s all in the sizing, dependent on stocking levels and feeding habits - but that seems really hard to determine and can shift) especially with lots of people using small refug and harvesting regularly. I am now considering DIY algae scrubber which I can upgrade/descale by adding larger or more screens in a relatively small space. It’s also relatively easy and cheap enough to make. Bit puzzled by your suggested sump capacity of 10-20% of DT? In my case that would be another very big tank 180-360 in my garage. I wasn’t planning on having anywhere near such a large sump. Interested to learn more about sizing and rationale and where the balance of equilibrium might lie. Thanks

for me this sump i bought did not have a filter sock setup (triton44) It does have large Refugium that is hit and miss from my experience if I had to do over I agree with you on purchasing algae scrubber and is in plan for future I run an iomega 180i skimmer and had issue with over filling and causing floods I just added a davey jones locker which works with apex and should kill skimmer before flooding I also just ordered matroller and will adjust flow to it to make sure I dont drain too many nutrientsCan I also ask why no filter socks/pre filter but instead you use a protein skimmer? I was planning on doing it the other way round. Either will remove dissolved organics. Why remove any at all?
An ATS is easy to make just need a length of pvc pipe. Cut a slot lengthways, insert a mesh, fix in situ. Stopper one end of the pipe, to the other end hook up a water supply diverted from DT return. suspend the pipe/mesh in a square blacked out box (no bottom) and place over the sump. Add a light source. If more capacity is required add more pipes and screens.

what makes this pump that cost nearly 2K so good!!! you know how many other pumps you can get that is 1/3 that?Hi I keep asking my self if the abyzz a100 is strong enough for my 625 red see. do I need change for abyzz 200 ? ( I use triton method)
Supposedly they never fail, and pump the GPH as specified.what makes this pump that cost nearly 2K so good!!! you know how many other pumps you can get that is 1/3 that?
Hi, I have a question please.

Would you mind sharing your programming for this?
