I wish this stuff wasn’t so expensive, I just ordered the apex and the trident and I literally had to get a loan to pay for it, now I am in debt lol, btw I love your content I feel your channel is underrated and more people should watch it
I closed my eyes and paid half with zilch and did the rest weekly my credit is trash so buying this new was a myth so I got a secondhand one just for the main unit £370 was mint didn’t get the pro everything else I buy new now I’m hooked now I got trident and dos it’s a game changer maybe start with the old Neptune model and when you ready upgrade
@@LeeShandtrust me I don’t count what I spend anymore it’s pointless I know nothing about fresh water but I sometimes wish I didn’t get into salt water, till this day can’t believe I spent £200 up on live rock and who told me to get a 300l, my electric company is having a field day with my wallet
Thanks for this! It’s exactly the information and honestly I’ve been looking for. Wish I had come across this sooner. I’m also considering the hydros controller. Do you have any thoughts about it?
Are you in the UK? How easy is it to get reagents for the trident system? Thinking about getting this but so many places seem out of stock. Thanks for posting this video btw.
I’ve been in the reef world only for 2 years but I’ve upgraded from a 30gal to a 90 gal and cycle is almost done but I’ve got all my equipment but I’m just so tempted to buy the trident as I want it to run as smooth as possible it’s just hard to justify the money for it 😂
Ai orbit wave maker is the best decision I made i don’t even hear the wave maker I retired two ecotech mp40s for ai Nero 7 and a 5 was going to buy another Nero 7 and sell the 5 but the new orbit came out so I thought let me get this new toy and see if it’s as silent as my neros “lord it’s so quiet I have to check it’s working 😅 anyone like the Neptune auto feeder or not worth the order is the usb long?

Your in the wrong hobby :D hehehe
@@LeeShand I know right lol I didn’t realize how expensive it would be, but now I’m hooked I love corals so much!!!!!
@@truereefkeeping6022 Yep, it happens to the best of us. I think i am $15K in so far.

It’s a must in my books!
Maritza Castro My thoughts exactly!
Busy setting my first tank at the moment. The amount of tech available is crazy.
Yes it is, and owning it can be a double edged sword because you then can fall into the trap of micro managing !
Thank you for your video. Answered all the questions I had perfectly just need to convince the wife spend the money 🙈
Excellent :)
I'm on the same boat. But I'll just tell the wife some guy on offer up sold me everything for $300 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude, don’t give them too much credit.. We need Terrence to have 3-4 Black Friday sales a year .. 🤣😂
Have you used that cor 20 pump yet? I’m curious if it’s a good pump, I want to get one but hear mixed feelings about it
Not yet. Still sitting on the spare parts bench!
Are you in the UK? How easy is it to get reagents for the trident system? Thinking about getting this but so many places seem out of stock. Thanks for posting this video btw.
How about the socket? It doesn't have uk plug for the socket.
I am in the US!
Just installed the apex el and trident and I am having a bloody nightmare
You get it sorted out?
@@WaterboxReef It was down to the usb lead that came with the system. Changed it for one from a printer and worked fine.
@@canvoodoo Excellent ! Are you finding its making life easier?
@@WaterboxReef I would hate to be without it now.

It makes such a difference to the stability of your tank. Takes the guess work away.
Really good video thanks . What was the total cost of all the items you talked about apart from the par meter I'm setting up new 1000ltr .
Not sure because the pretty much most of the Apex stuff I have I won on Reef2Reef :) but it must be over 3K
Trident would have been good if we can use our own reagent ... The DOS eh ... I prefer the Versa.
Why not the ATO setup?
Fantastic! I really want to get a monitoring system, the apex and trident just may be it.
Do it!
Wow i can’t imagine all that technology only if I could get my hands on a apex
It certainly hanged the way my tank has developed!
Waterbox Reef thumbs up 👍🏿 fellow reef builder...
How did you get them to send you all that shit for free? Nice job mate.
I won half and paid for the other half.

You still a fan of this equipment? Besides the controller all the other equipment has bad reviews from users that seem to be genuine issues.
Here for the giveaway.
