Neptune Systems

Support Natural Filtration with the GRO Compact and efficient light output 84 LEDs, optimum growth spectrum Large surface with even distribution IP64 Water resistant design Can operate standalone with optional power supply   The Neptune Systems GRO is a specialized, 20W LED light designed to grow many types of common macroalgaes (i.e. Chaetomorpha) using a specialized light spectrum which maximizes photosynthesis. This unit includes a Flat Bracket Mount which clamps to a flat edge such as the edge of your sump or support on your stand. The GRO uses all its power to emit light in two specific wavelengths that are optimized for macroalgae growth – 455-460nm and 620-670nm. This combined with its rectangular shape (have you ever seen a round refugium?) means that the right light goes right where you need it – and minimizes nuisance algae growth in other areas of your sump due to light spillage. Some of the most successful reef aquariums employ the use of a macroalgae-filled growth area or refugium for the purpose of nutrient control. Growing and harvesting macroalgae in a compartment in your sump, or in a full-blown refugium, is the natural way to reduce unwanted nutrients in your reef aquarium. It also creates a home and reproductive area for beneficial micro-fauna that consume waste and provide a food source for corals and fish. Growing macroalgae opposite your normal light cycle (called reverse daylight photosynthesis) also helps raise and stabilize your aquarium pH.   Easy Plug & Play Setup Remove the GRO from the box, plug it into one of your available DC24 connections on an Energy Bar 832 or 1LINK module, select GRO from the tasks menu, and in just a couple of minutes a step by step wizard will have it set up and scheduled.   Better Macroalgae Growth Using Less Power It may seem counterintuitive, but with far less power than its competitors, the GRO promotes thick, healthy, and abundant macroalgae growth. The GRO does this by using 84 low-powered LEDs, selected for optimal macro algae growth, and spreads them evenly across a wide, rectangular area. This avoids hot spots in the lighting output and enables the GRO to be placed very close to the macroalgae, increasing its efficiency while minimizing wasteful light spillage.   NO Apex or DC24 Port Necessary - Works with the 24v DC Power Supply Maybe you don’t have a free DC24 port, or even have an Apex at all yet – no worries – with the optionally available 24v Power Supply, the GRO can be used on any aquarium as a standalone refugium light.   Specifications Recommended Coverage: 24” x 18” Dimensions: 8.7" L x 6.1" W x 1.4" H Voltage: 24v Power Consumption: 20 Watts   What’s Included?

DŌS QuietDrive - Dose. Automate. Protect. New QuietZone Modes for Reduced Noise New Continuous Duty Modes Same Reliable DŌS Hardware Compatible with A2 and A3 Series Apex Controllers   In the most important ways, this is still the same Neptune Systems DŌS that reefers have come to know and love. The Neptune Systems DŌS QuietDrive remains a highly efficient, programmable dosing system designed to work seamlessly with the Neptune Systems Apex Controllers. Ideal for a variety of dosing applications, it offers precise control over dosing volumes and schedules through the easy-to-use Apex Fusion cloud interface. The DŌS QD pump features dual pump heads, large-diameter tubing, and simple maintenance with easy tube replacement. It's a practical solution for accurate and consistent aquarium dosing, minimizing manual work and maximizing reliability.   So, What's New with the DŌS QuietDrive? Quiet Operation: The DŌS QD incorporates EcoTech QuietDrive technology to significantly reduce noise.  Up to 400% reduction in noise at high speeds (60/125/250 ml/min) Up to 200% reduction in noise at slow speeds (7/12/25 ml/min) Continuous Duty Operation: At speeds up to 25 ml/min, the DŌS QD can run continuously, allowing the pump heads to run more quietly and offering more flexibility for additive dosing and automatic water changes. Priming Buttons: The priming buttons have been changed from plastic to backlit with R and L indicators, allowing you to easy see what you're doing, even if you're working in a dark aquarium stand. They are now water resistant, which helps prevent damage to the DŌS QD if you press them with wet hands. Powered by 1LINK: Say goodbye to the power supply. The DŌS QuietDrive includes a 1LINK cable, which connects directly to the EB832 Power Bar. This single cable powers the DŌS and links it with your Apex Controller, cutting down on the number of cords and freeing up a standard plug on your EB832. New Look: Last but not least, the DŌS QD has been re-styled in a dark grey color similar to the Sky LED, giving it a bold new appearance.   What Can the DŌS QuietDrive be Used For? Two-Part Dosing: The most common use for the DŌS is dosing calcium and alkalinity to your system. Using a dosing pump to add these elements means greater stability of important water parameters and less daily maintenance. Simply run the DŌS Additive Dosing task in Apex Fusion and enter the amount of liquid you'd like to dose and when you'd like for it to be dosed. The DŌS then sets up all the dosing intervals within that time period. Automatic Water Changes: Water changes with the DŌS QuietDrive have never been easier.  All you do is run tubing to your empty vessel or drain and to your fresh stock of saltwater. Then, in Apex Fusion, select and run the DŌS Automatic Water Change task and you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes. It will perform an automatic water change for you based on the schedule you've set up. It's possible to change up to 30 gallons per day, or 12 gallons per day in the "Quiet Zone." Micro Dosing: If you need to dose tiny amounts liquid (like vodka dosing or for Zeovit systems), the DŌS is the perfect solution due to its precision-controlled stepper motor. This ability to control pump movement in such a refined manner means that you can dose as little as 0.1ml at a time.   Easy Maintenance and Tubing Changes Changing out the pump head on the DŌS is a snap...Literally! All you need to do to change out the pump head is squeeze and remove. Then attach your dosing tubing to the new head, and snap it back on. No screws, no fuss.   DDR Compatible (sold separately) The DŌS has an accessory port that will enable it to be connected to the DDR – DOS Dual Reservoir. The DDR has two storage vessels that hold up to 2 liters each, with an optical sensor in each side to let you know when you're running low on dosing solution.   Specifications Requires: A2 or A3 Series Apex Controller Dimensions (Approx.): 9.5" x 5" x 5" Max. Lift Height: 24 Feet Max. Suction Height: 24 Feet Flow Rate: Variable (0.1ml - 250ml/min) Power: 24VDC   What's Included? DŌS QuietDrive Dosing Pump 1LINK Cable 4 Meters of 6mm Tubing 50ml Graduated Cylinder for Calibration   Note: Requires an A2 or A3 Series Apex Controller to operate.

Automated Testing for the Three Most Critical Reef Parameters Fully Automated Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium Testing Includes 2-Month Trident ACM Reagent Kit Seamless Integration with Neptune Systems Apex Controllers Precision Testing with Consistent, Repeatable Results Test Your Aquarium Water up to 24 Times Per Day Apex Fusion Graphing, Alerts, and Automation Support Compatible with Automatic Dosing Control When Paired with DŌS Includes 2-Month Trident ACM Reagent Kit   The Neptune Systems Trident ACM is an automated testing device designed to continuously monitor alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium in saltwater reef aquariums. By removing the need for manual test kits, the Trident delivers consistent, high-frequency data that helps reef keepers better understand consumption trends, detect issues early, and maintain long-term stability. The Trident connects directly to a compatible Neptune Systems Apex controller and logs every test result into Apex Fusion, where results are graphed over time and can trigger alerts or automated actions. When paired with a Neptune Systems DŌS or DŌS QuietDrive dosing pump, the Trident becomes the foundation of a closed-loop testing and dosing system that can automatically adjust additive delivery to maintain target parameters.   How it Works The Trident uses automated titration combined with an internal colorimeter to replicate the same chemical testing process used in manual hobby test kits, but with far greater consistency. On a scheduled basis, the Trident draws a small water sample from the aquarium, mixes it with reagent, and precisely measures the color change using a controlled peristaltic pump system. Once the test is complete, the sample and reagent are expelled to an external waste container, and the measured value is logged into the Apex. This process repeats automatically based on the testing schedule you define. Apex Integration & Alerts All Trident test results are displayed in Apex Fusion, where data is stored, graphed, and analyzed over time. Users can configure alerts to notify them if alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium move outside of a defined safe range. Beyond notifications, Trident data can also be used to trigger automated responses such as pausing dosing, adjusting output, or activating other connected equipment to help protect the aquarium from instability. Automatic Dosing Control with Neptune DŌS When paired with one or more Neptune Systems DŌS dosing pumps, the Trident allows you to enable optional Automatic Dosing Control (ADC). ADC takes results from the Trident and uses them to gradually adjust what the DŌS delivers. Built-in safeguards protect your aquarium by comparing measured changes against dosing adjustments. Dosing changes are limited to ±35% per adjustment. If no expected change is detected, ADC will shut down auto tuning, notify you, and revert to the original dosing levels. Setup & Operation Installation is designed to be quick and straightforward. The Trident connects via a single cable to the Apex's EB832 Power Bar, uses two lengths of tubing for sample intake and waste output, and is configured through guided setup tasks in Apex Fusion. No manual calibration, reagent mixing, or probe tuning is required. Testing is quiet and compact enough to run inside most aquarium cabinets without drawing attention. Compatible Neptune Systems Apex Controllers A3 Apex (Apex Pro, Apex, Apex Jr.*) A2 Apex (Apex, Apex EL) *Note: If you're using an A3 Apex Jr., you'll need a 36W 24VDC Power Supply and Aquabus cable.

The Closest to The Sun You Can Get The SKY is a 200w LED aquarium light, with patented diffuser technology smoothly blending 104 LEDs to create a uniformly blended field of coral-health-optimized light. Taking a cue from nature, the specialized diffuser array mimics the filtering effect of our atmosphere blend the output of the powerful LED array, and solves the common issues of hot spots and disco-ball effects common to most LEDs, achieving the closest output to natural light that we've seen. The SKY also has a large surface area of diffused light at the origin, which emulates the horizon-to-horizon effect of the atmosphere and noticeably reduces shadowing. The SKY can achieve wider and more even coverage with fewer fixtures needed to light your reef aquarium and provide for the health, growth, and color needs of even the most demanding corals. While there are some that prefer a natural daylight spectrum from their reef lighting, most tend to lean towards a more blue-purple to really make their coral colors pop. No matter what your preference is, the SKY has the programming options and flexibility to acheive the look you desire without sacrificing the quality of light output.    Features Wired or Wireless Connectivity Can be used with or without an Apex UV LED Enhanced Color Pop Two Dedicated Moonlights (4 LED) Diffused Light Adjustable Shimmer with Optional Shimz Advanced Thermal Management System Near Silent Operation Low Profile and Lightweight Multiple Mounting Options UL and CE Certified   Don't have an Apex? No Problem! Those without an Apex can wirelessly connect to the SKY over Bluetooth and operate it via their mobile devices. If you do have an Apex controller, the SKY easily connects by its integrated AquaBus cable to an available port on your Apex base unit, energy bar, or modules. This makes set up fast and easy. If you have more than one SKY, the included Y-cable can be used to chain them together and still only take up one AquaBus connection on your Apex.   Advanced Thermal Management The SKY has an advanced approach to thermal management that is more than just the two fans you see. So, why two fans? With two fans the SKY can operate them at much lower RPM while keeping the LED cooler. Cooler LEDs mean a longer lifespan for your light. Also, running the fans slower means that the SKY is quieter, in fact, it's the quietest actively-cooled LED in its power-class. The SKY puts out just 33dB at one meter and set to 100%. The leading competitor clocks in at >40dB at 100% power. Along with these fans a temperature and power monitoring algorithm manages their speed. If one fan were to fail, the other will pick up the slack and keep the SKY running and safely cooled until a replacement is obtained. Also, if for some other reason the SKY cannot adequately cool itself, such as excessively high ambient air temperature, it will throttle the power to the LED to keep them safely cool.   Multiple Mounting Options In addition to the sleek black Sky Hanging Kit, you now have many other ways to mount the SKY over your aquarium. The Sky is compatible with a number of mounting solutions from EcoTech Marine. The RMS tank mount system is great for those wanting to mount the light on the back of the aquarium. Alternatively, you can use the RMS Arms, Track, & XR30 Slide to mount your Sky across the tank. Perfect for those with eurobraced aquariums or if you have a pesky overflow box or center brace in the way.    Compatible Tank Mounts Neptune Systems SKY Hanging Kit Ecotech Marine RMS XR30 G5 Tank Mount System Orphek Universal LED Mounting Bracket   Adjustable Shimmer As equipped, and with surface water agitation, the SKY provides a gentle shimmer that suits the tastes of most aquarists. We realized early in the SKY development that when you put a diffuser in front of LED, as many lights do, it tends to kill off nearly ALL shimmer. And that’s not good. So we designed a hybrid diffuser that has clear covers, called Shimz, over four openings in the diffuser where the white LED can shine through with no diffusion. These white LED then bring back the shimmer lost by the diffuser – but in just the right amount. But because not everyone has the same taste, we created an option. If you wish to have even less shimmer, SKY Diffused Shimz can be swapped in – available as an optional purchase.     Coverage Maximum Spread: 30" x 36" Recommended Spread: 24" x 30"   LED Details 104 LEDs (including uv) Dedicated Moonlights 4 Controllable Channels   Specifications Dimensions: 12.8" x 9.25" Power Input: 100-240VAC 1.8A 50/60Hz Variable Usage (MAX): 219W Mounting Kit: Sold Separately   What's Included?

Please note: must be used with a Neptune Systems Apex System EL or Neptune Systems Apex System When Neptune decided to create an Energy Bar for this new Apex, they have designed it from the ground up. Not only does the Energy Bar 632 have six 220V AC outlets, but it includes an internal 100W 24VDC power supply as well. That power supply feeds three built-in 1LINK ports as well as two 24VDC accessory ports.And, each individual outlet has independent power monitoring and there are individual LED indicators for each outlet.CERTIFIED TO CE STANDARDS Your safety is important to Neptune Systems. This is why we design every product to established safety standards. In the case of the Energy Bar 632, and given it is a line-voltage device, we have taken that a step further and confirmed it meets CE Safety Standards.POWER MONITORING For years we have been asked to provide power monitoring of the individual devices connected to each outlet – but it just wasn’t possible without pricing the product out of the range of most consumers. Now it’s here and with comes tons of benefits. With this power information regularly monitored, you now know when your pump, skimmer, powerhead, UV, or any other device is not operating normally and an alert message can be sent. This enables you to catch issues right when they happen – or better yet when they are on the road to failure. Also, for many of us the cost of the electricity to run a successful aquarium is a major concern in our household. Even for those where electricity is cheap, we believe most aquarists care a great deal about their energy consumption and its effect on the environment. Ironically, our energy usage could be directly connected to excess greenhouse gasses, the warming of the oceans, and the bleaching of the corals! However, armed with this power usage information, we believe aquarists will not only be able to make operating and purchase decisions that will save them hundreds of dollars a year, but they will also be able to reduce their carbon footprint.BUILT-IN 1LINK AND 24VDC PORTS  This Energy Bar has a built-in 100W, 24VDC power supply that can control up to three Neptune Systems 1LINK products like the WAV and DOS. It also includes two switchable 24V DC on/off outlets that are compatible with any 24V device under 30W and Neptune Systems 24V accessories like our Practical Multi-purpose Utility Pump (PMUP) and solenoid valve.INDIVIDUAL OUTLET INDICATOR LED  Each Energy Bar AC outlet as well as the two 24VDC accessory ports have their own status LED. This LED tells you when that outlet is energized. The LED will also blink rapidly if a device is plugged in that exceeds the current capability for that outlet.ALARMS AND DECISIONS BASED ON POWER  Since the Apex is receiving continual power usage data from the Energy Bar 632, it can be configured to send you notifications when a device is not using power as it should be. An example would be a return pump showing no power consumption when the outlet is on. Or, tell you when a skimmer has a clogged airline because power consumption will show differently than normal operation. These high and low limits are completed customizable by individual outlet. You can even use this power data to control other devices.ALL OUTLETS RELAY SWITCHED  Times have changed and it is fairly uncommon now for aquariums to have AC devices that must be cycled on and off continuously. This means that we could now switch all AC outlets to relay switching.
