300g - Triton or something else?

[Hitman]

Triton by far is the most expensive, then ATI, then Red Sea, with 2 Part dosing being the least expensive from my ruff run down.

I wouldn’t ever consider triton. Just do a routine small water change and dose two part or go calcium reactor.

I think ATI is winning so far, looks nice and simple and relatively cheap. 2 part would be good but given I don't want to do water changes I would also need to add trace elements and presumably ICP test regularly to check levels.

The red Sea reef care program looks overly complicated to me. I gather the 3 foundation bottles are just alk, ca and mg so I would also need to buy the 4 trace elements bottles, seems overly complicated and a bit of a rip-off.

So ATI plus Triton style sump for nutrient export is the winner I think.

Thanks for you help

Look into ESV B-Ionic for 2 part dosing. I get it from BRS. It’s inexpensive and includes major and minor elements in their 2 part system. This and Kalk is all I’ve ever dosed constantly which is one of the reasons I’m excited to get my water results.
Here’s a link with their info on it. I think 2 gallons cost me $30 shipped from BRS.

Thanks, I'm in the UK and I'm not sure if there is an equivalent 2 part system available here but I'll take a look
