How many of you out there are doing the full Triton Method? Have you been documenting your experience in a thread? If so, drop the link here. Curious as to everyone's experience. How long into your tank did you start the method?

I did the Triton method for a year. I found that I would intermittently get high levels of metals, and have to do prescribed water changes. After looking at my notes that, averaged over a year, I was doing 20% per month water changes. I switched to automatic water changes and it turned out to be a bit cheaper, more stable, and my corals are happier. Subsequent Triton tests never showed any elevated metal levels.
See my build thread Linked on my profile.
i have not done a water change in over 1.5 months and tank has never been better. That said I am starting continuous automated water change program starting this weekend but it will be quite low volume. I am thinking 10 gallons a month. When you start full triton it takes a bit to figure out trace dosing and solve maybe problems with contaminants like metals. But after a period of months you can really dial it in and water changes are either not needed, or done less frequently. I am only doing continuous low volume to make sure nothing is building up that does not show up in icp test.
How often are you doing ICP tests? Gonna go check out your build thread now. Thanks!
