(Which it does know when I've left the sample line out of the water)Reason I ask is I'm setting up a second Apex on a new tank and lately have been thinking of switching to the ABC reagents as they don't have an expiration.  This is appealing to me as my current Trident starts to drift off at the end of the two month supply very consistently to untrusworthy numbers.  This of course is easily remedied by new fluids and a fresh calibration.  Secondly in my reasoning, very consitently again, when the trident wont test because something is empty, I find a significant amount of reagent always in the bottle it thinks is empty... enough so that I can top off the new bottle with what is in it and still have more to throw away.  This has lead me to the conclusion that every two months I'm throwing out somewhere between 10 -20% of my reagent without getting test results.  I find that annoying as I'm about to bring a second trident online soon. I'm just about finished designing my own 3d reagent container to maximize the amount of each reagent that can fit in the trident.  I'm making the cap to have a brace to hold the tube straight verticle so it drop to the very bottom of each section which has a 5 degree slant to the center like a shower drain essentially.  I should be able to get a few more ounces of each reagent in there so that's why I'm cosidering ABC's stuff... I'm all about changing fluids as less often as possible.  Perhaps someone usingf the ABC stuff can chime in as to wether their Trident drifts off or not?  Thank you [ATTACH]3017236[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
