Hi,
So, I'm running Triton method on my 150 SPS tank. I'm using the "core" now, since starting my tank in March, Chaeto had been growing very well! Nutrients low, no issues. Add some fish and some SPS and now I have a Diatom outbreak. My chaeto has slowed down BIG time to almost no growth. My SPS are doing ok...I started a thread here:

I'm wonder if the triton core method doesn't have enough trace metals to keep the chaeto happy and growing.
My question is can I run the "core" triton elements without Chaeto and a fuge? Or will this lead to a toxic level of certain trace elements since chaeto isn't using them up? Or do I need to run "other method"?. I have probably half a bottle of each core element left and would like to use them up.
