The triton test said I needed;


Zinc
Vanadium
Manganese
Boron
Molybdenum
Nickel


I bought these liquids from amazon.com except for nickel.


Does anyone know where I can get 18.4ml of nickel, preferably for a nickel LOL?

I can't imagine dosing raw heavy metals into your reef aquarium is a good idea. How would you even know they are the right composition? I would wait for Triton to release their supplements and use the products they recommend.

Check out aqua fuel. I know moly along with other heavy metals are listed. I have no idea why.

I see a special forum in Randys future. .lol

I have more or less the same problem. I also have a shortage of nickel but I decided since this is more or less uncharted territory that it would be safer to use the triton additives for adjusting things like nickel. For me it's not worth risking my system by using an unproven source. At least with the stuff from Triton you know it's been put in lots of other tanks and they should know enough to give the proper dosage the first time around.

I don't believe that Triton can tell you that you have less than NSW levels of nickel as they cannot detect the NSW value, especially for surface waters.

So I would not add nickel based just on this assay.

Same for manganese.

I haven't heard of Triton-USA offering the STATUS QUO one time mix to correct the water nearest natural salt water. They said they are getting in a big shipment of chems from triton eu. Nothing has been said about a package to correct the individual tank right after the test.
Have you heard anything about the STATUS QUO package?

I dosed these elements, one time, Zinc Vanadium Manganese Boron Molybdenum as prescribed by the Triton test on my tank. Red Sea ABCD elements have some of the Nickel needed. I know some of the nickel needed was added but I'm in the dark with nickel.

I rebuilt my entire sump system as prescribed by the Triton system in Europe.

On Amazon bought the Zinc, Vanadium, Manganese, Boron, and Molybdenum. They are from health food stores for human consumption.

My reef tank is looking much better than it did with the calcium reactor.

Could you elaborate on how and how much you dosed? Do you have pictures from your reef? That's really interesting!

Do you just pop open a capsule and drop in the powder? If this is the case and it's working, then you could potentially mix them and make a custom blend for your reef.

The real question is if Centrum Silver Multivitamins are the answer to correcting imbalances with all the micro-elements in our reef tanks.

The Triton test told me how much to dose and what amount.

They were liquids and I will not do this again unless I have the Triton test done again.
