How to clean your Neptune Systems Trident cuvette!

[@OCReventsAndbuilds]

Thanks derick for all the videos

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Absolutely!

[@gregadams4122]

Great video!

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Thank you!

[@dramad2974]

Thanks for sharing. Will be doing this later today

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Have fun!

[@paulhumphrey9474]

Great video. How often do you normally have to clean the cuvette? Im thinking about making the leap

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

I haven’t cleaned it since I made this video. Never needed to except that one time it was having issues.

[@markmckinnell2204]

I think I’m going to make the top front part of the lid portable so I can clean the curettes monthly’s - Terrence a hinged front top would help on version two 🤔🤣

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Perhaps, but again this should only be done IF support tells you to. It is not a preventative maintenance tutorial.

[@RogueAquariums]

An easy process, thanks for the tutorial Derrick. 😁

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

You're welcome!

[@PJ-Max-May]

This is great. I thought Neptune was going to offer maintenance service.

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

They do. I am in trouble for making this video.

[@brinks128]

Why will you be in trouble

[@jmdelira87]

@@ReefAndReptileAutomation did they really get mad at you for posting this?

Would the q tips scratch the plastic if using it dry?

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

No

[@stripe14631]

No it just leave a bunch of cotton lint in the cuvette

[@loupatterson1651]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. However, it is pronounced "koo-vet".

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Thank you and well aware.

[@jessielees]

Theres no harm in using a wet QTip, as long as you use RO/DI water... when you dip the Q Tip in RO/DI water, this process is a whole lot easier. You can use a dry QTip to dry it out after, and let it air dry a couple minutes too if it makes you feel better... you'll have to prime the sample line again when reconnecting anyways and that will flush the cuvette out too..

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Agreed.

[@hatfieldsreef2087]

Neptune should make a cleaning access door for this. Trident take 2 🎬

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Perhaps but it is not something that is part of the maintenance of the unit and only to be done if there are problems

[@nicoleoverbeeke6803]

Don’t the tubes ever have to be replaced?

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Not that I know yet....It might be part of the maintence.

[@jackheim95]

Did this work for anyone ? My alk shoes 10 and hanna 6.4 ..way off

[@ReefAndReptileAutomation]

Not sure what that has to do with this video? My alkalinity was not off. It was reading erratic intervals. This will not help “accuracy”. Make sure you calibrate and I would never trust the Hanna over the trident.
