    Phosphate and Nitrate control

    Hello, I started using the Triton method on my established 100gal mixed reef on the first of November. However, I've noticed that my PO4 and Nitrate levels have risen to unacceptable levels since converting. The phosphate levels have kept rising since I switched from BRS GFO High Capacity...

    Transition from Triton Other Methods to Aquaforest

    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...

    Triton Method with RedSea Reefer 350 custom sump

    I am in the middle of converting to the Triton method with my RedSea Reefer 350, after I have had a slow and painful crash. Unfortunately, no-one makes a custom sump for the RedSea Reefer 350 so I have had to design my own around the 350 cabinet. This one gives a refugium of 15% and the ATO...

    Starting the Triton method

    Hi All I have had many problems with my tank as of late, and basically, I am going to do a complete restart. I have a RedSea Reefer 35o and I am looking at replacing the sump with a Trigger Triton 34 which seems from my reading as a good Triton sump for my display size. (Display is 275...

    Triton setup support question

    Hi everyone and @Tim@Triton I have a reefer 350 and planning to use the Triton core 7. I am wondering if my sump modification with 7.5 gallon space for cheatos with around 80 gallon total water volume can be use to run Triton core 7. Currently I have no algea in the display as I’m running...

    Triton test

    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? @Randy Holmes-Farley

    Is GFO necessary with a large regfugium?

    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...

    Question regarding Core7

    Hey everyone, My current system is about 3 months old and is approximately 107 total system gallons. I set the system up from the beginning using Triton Methodology. I currently have a 20g refugium growing Chaeto very nicely on a reverse photo cycle. I have done zero water changes and set...

    Aquarium and flow

    I am contemplating using the Triton system on my new tank. I have a used Elos 120xl which has a 1/2 return pipe, a quick google search shows its at best good for 800 gph. The 127 gallons in the Elos times 10 has me looking for 1250 to 1300 gph. This seems like a substantial shortcoming. Has...

    125 gallon reef tank build, looking for advice and pointers for success.

    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...

    Eshopps r-200 questions

    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...

    Refgium lighting time

    Hello, I know the refugium light is supposed to be lit on when the display tank light turns off to prevent PH swing. What about keeping the refugium light on 24 hours a day? Will it still prevent PH swing? Is there any adverse effect? Thank you for your input in advance! Yas

    BRS Magnesium O.K. to use with Triton "Other Methods"

    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...

    Triton Results and STN

    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?

    Tumbling issues with mixed media in Avast Marine Spyglass

    @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...

    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...

    Very simple/basic cost comparison vs water changes/dosing

    I put together a spreadsheet to compare the expected cost of using the Triton method vs different % water changes. Here's a link, it's editable and downlaodable by anyone with the link. I don't claim to have any knowledge of the system or its costs aside from what I put into the calculator. If...
