Fellow reefer, im trying to get a feel for how many of you do ICP testing and which one you prefer.
If this is about knowing the 32 elements in your reef water, then why is there a cost difference? Excuse my ignorance or grammar. Just looking for input.
I have a poll, which one to pick and how...
Hello,
really quick and probably easy to answer question:
I got my triton ICP results and I want increase K and Sr.
My K/Potassium results were 370mg/L.
My Sr/Strontium results were 4mg/L.
My I/Iodine results were 42mg/L.
I want to push K to 400, Sr to 8, and I to 60.
How fast can I push the...
Picked the tank and stand up used. Tank is a Leemar rimless 44x22x16. Stand was pretty simple and ugly so we made some panels that attach by magnets
Also came with a sump.
Got a 150gpd 5 stage rodi unit from purewaterclub. My tap is only 30ppm so it doesn’t have to work to hard and the price...
Hey Guys-
I am rebuilding my Red Sea Reefer 450 to be an SPS dominant ZeoVit system. I have used Triton Core7, Aquaforest 3-part and BRS 2-part in the past on other systems and the previous build of this system, in which I attempted the Triton Method. I am trying to determine what my best bet...
So, I am about to completely break down my Reefer 350 to move it into our new place and I am moving all my livestock to a biocube for now, I don't actually have that much. In this process I am planning on switching over to use the triton system, but I feel like the stock sump wastes a lot of...
Hello everyone!
What are the minimum size requirements for a skimmer chamber? Is it just large enough for the skimmer to fit or does it need some additional volume? Just talking about the foot print, I understand water height requirements.
I'm planning on building a sump for my frag tank with...
Hi all,
So I am properly sick of not being able to purchase Triton additives because they are always out of stock and having two sets of milk jugs leak in the boxes when I receive them is not making me very loyal at this point. I currently do not follow the "triton" method but us their...
I just wanted topost this quick video I pre-ordered the GHL Maxi during the all the Black Friday sales. I Had my eye on a DOS for a very long time, but couldn't get over the shape of the DOS. I may be unique in that regard, but i had purchased 2 DOS units and two DDR's and sent them back. I...
So I figured after a little over 4 years without doing water changes I would send in a test. I knew when I sent in sample calcium was high and made adjustment on calcium reactor. Other than adding a little manganese anything standout?

Hello everybody,
I am new to this board, so I'll start with a short introduction of myself:
My name is Mario and I am from Germany. I own a reef tank since 2009, I started with a 30 gallon tank as my first aquarium and since summer 2015 I own a 100 gallon reef.
I am an engineer, therefore I'd...
I have always run GFO and had very good success with it. Recently I have been running a very large triton style refugium with the Kessil refugium light. I have 0 detectable nitrates or phosphates with this, and I recently stopped changing my GFO. I still have 0 detectable phosphates with a...
Hi everyone,
Just got my first triton test results back and I had a few questions regarding some of the importance of the dosing suggestions they listed. A few of the issues I have already been correcting even before I got the results back as it's been some weeks since I bottled up the...
I've been having mysterious issues with my sps and acans specifically not wanting to expand or let polyps out. Time and time again I've studied and talked to others to try and zero in on the issue(s). Finally, I decided to get a Triton test and I'm still having trouble breathing after reading...
Hello,
I am new to the forums but have been keeping reef tanks/fowlr tanks for the past five years. I recently picked up a 125 gallon tank that was brand new from craigslist for $100 dollars so that was too good of a deal to pass up. So, since I have picked up this tank, I was looking to see...
Before I pull the trigger on this - I'm building my 75 gallon reef tank and want to go with the Triton method.
Will the Eshopps r-200 have enough fuge space for a 75g dt? It's 10x7 and I don't know if I will be able to grow enough chaetomorpha in that space to make the Triton method...
Hey guys i to am tired of water changes and was interested in trtion.
Sadly i do not have enough room for a fuge tha is 20% my tank volume being that i have a 60 cube and everything must fit in the sump.
Is there anyone here using the triton 7 elements for other methods?
How is it going for...
Hi all,
I just started triton "other methods" this past Monday and things seem to be holding steady and doing well so far. I have noticed that over the past 5 days my magnesium has dropped from 1300 to 1200 but all the other parameters are staying stable. (I've been testing everything...
Hello
I got a triton test done and the results are attached.
I still have a lot of trouble with STN on my Acros...
Do any of the water parameters show reasons for STN?
Most parameters show up with a green light but maybe there is something...
Colors are good; growth is slow but noticeable (on...
@AVAST Marine
I started using the spyglass a few weeks ago. I have the small size in the return section of my RSR 250. I had to plane off a bit of acrylic on the base to make it fit but did not interrupt the integrity of the chamber.
I have mixed the prescribed amount of ROX carbon and GFO...
Got my first Triton test back. Elevated Tin & Zinc, see full test results if desired.

Have been running full Triton since I put this tank up on August 31, prior to that I was using the Red Sea Reef Care Program on my...
I just bought Triton supplement package and I am looking to see what people who are using the Triton method have found as their steady/stable dose.
If you're using Triton, I'd like to know:
1) What dosage of the Triton supplements are you using?
2) Your total system volume
3) Your stocking...
Hi Randy,
I'm very curious as to how Triton might be able to achieve the Core7 dosing supplements high concentration while still maintaining a balanced 1:1 dosing profile. I can only imagine avoiding precipitation in the alkalinity component is quite a challenge at those concentration levels...
All - I got my Triton results back this morning and I just want to see what you folks think.
I'm battling a serious dinoflagellate invasion that won't seem to go away. I'm dosing up phosphates on a daily basis to around .2 ppm and it will drop to almost nothing within 24 hours. I notice my...
I have set up an IM Nuvo Mini 40 in my office (see below) and it has been running for about 8 weeks now. It will eventually be an SPS dominant tank so I have been looking at various methods of nutrient control/supplementation. I love the idea of the Triton method and have been looking at the...
Hi all,
first let me introduce myself briefly. I am Sebastiaan from the Netherlands. I have had several fresh water tanks and several reef tanks for the past few years. (Had to change tanks due to changing home..).
My current tank is a customized Fluval M90, with a sump. It has been running...
