Mail-In and ICP Testing: Which Service is Right for You? There are 4 major water testing labs specializing in saltwater analysis: ATI Lab, Aqua Medic AWT, ICP-Analysis.com, and Triton Lab. We sent identical water samples to each and discuss our test results in this comprehensive review.

I've been out of touch this week so apologies if anyone else already posted this. Triton has a new address for USA shipments! If you have an already purchased sample box you may need to change the address. Per their email the new address is: Triton USA 16116 Covello st. Van Nuys CA 91406 The...

I seem to have a problem growing cheato. I bought some cheato from Algae Barn a good few months ago and that seems to be a much thicker strain of cheato than what the local reefers and LFS have here. The Algae Barn stuff is hanging in there, but not growing and any of the local stuff just melts...

I currently do not have a tank and have been out of the hobby for about 5 years. I do have limited experience and have maintained an LPS dominate cube and a 75 FOWLR in the past. In the near future I will be doing a mixed reef, bare bottom Red Sea Reefer 250 running on the Triton method. My...

Got my triton results back and need some expert advice / opinions on what it’s reading.

I have been testing high levels of tin in my reef for a very long time (years). My reef itself looks good but of course there is always room for improvement. I am wondering what steps to take next. Here is a quick recap of what I have done over the years. Started ICP testing for my 180g. Had...

After a year and a half of struggling with my reef tank (I can't seem to keep even easy corals alive for more than a few months) I've decided to go Full Triton. It was either that or set up a daily small water change system and I think The Husband would kill me if I drilled holes in the hardwood...

Hello I just bought a month ago from Aquacave. I have them stored in my house. I wanted to have one in stock when I start my tank. I just started my build and when I picked one up I saw a build up on the wood stand. Also the containers look swollen with pressure. I think that is the problem...

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...

I'm just setting up the refurbished tank to Triton spec's and have a query with regard to flow. I have a RedSea Reefer 350 tank with a Synergy Triton sump. I have an Octo Vaios 8 pump and using it to feed the return via a manifold that has a chiller, and 2 reactors attached ( ROWA and carbon)...

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...

I have just restarted my aquarium and did an initial ICP test of the cycled water prior to adding anything. https://www.triton-lab.de/en/showroom/aquarium/auswertung-b/icp-oes/57210/ I used RODI and Tropic Marin salt, yet seems to be indicating very high levels of Zinc Manganese and Iron. It...

As the title says, what are thoughts on miracle mud in a full Triton sump? I know it could just be snake oil but many positive reviews and Mike Poletta has used it for years and he seems to know his stuff.

Seeking help from @Tim@Triton and experienced Triton users!!! I've been dosing core7 other method on a triton-capable system. The system has been running beautifully on reef supplements for 6 month. When I ordered a new batch of core7 reef supplements I was sent a set of core7 triton method by...

I am new to Triton but not new to reef keeping and have a small question with regard the Kh. I have just completely restarted by tank and have gone full Triton. I measured the parameters this morning and I have Kh 7.7 Ca 440 Mg 1290. I am wanting to just raise the Kh slightly to 8 dkh before I...

I recently upsized my sump and now have an 11 gallon refugium for my RSR 250 system. I have Chaeto in there and need some type of powerhead in there as the flow for dosing, although I have a Vario 2 at full speed, is not quite enough to prevent precipitation of 3A & B with the way the water...

hi everyone, My dosing pump was not dosing the 3b part for a week. I’m wondering if I can add the missing 3b part slowly to increase my alk back to usual? Thank you! @Tim@Triton Current alk is 7.0 Alk before dosing pump malfunction is 8.2

Hi Tim and everyone :) I am in the process of rebuilding my tank and switching to the full Triton method. I see that the recommendation is to switch between AL99 and RowaPhos on a regular basis in order for the Rowa to remove any aluminium that has leached from the AL99. My question is why...

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...

Unique Corals just got their shipment in today(Core7 Triton Method), just placed my order.

I feel that too little is ever said about great service and I would on this occasion like to compliment Triton and Tim in particular for the best customer service I have ever experienced. I had a problem with some leaking Core 7 tetra packs, that I had ordered online in the UK. Unfortunately...

I just realized that 3A core element had not dosed for three weeks. It seems that there was a problem in the line. Now I have cyano build up on sand :-( also a few snails have died off. What is the best course of action at this point? I have fixed the line problem and made sure that the...

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...
